D2-brane probes of non-toric cDV threefolds via monopole superpotentials
Andrés Collinucci, Marina Moleti, Roberto Valandro
We develop a framework to construct worldvolume gauge theories on D2-branes probing compound Du Val (cDV) Calabi-Yau threefold singularities. By viewing these singularities as ADE…

Non-toric 5d SCFTs from Reid's Pagoda
Andrés Collinucci, Fabrizio Del Monte, Mario De Marco +2
We construct new families of non-toric 5d SCFTs via abelian orbifolds of the Reid Pagoda, including a surprising infinite family of rank-1 theories, that evade all known classifica…

Universal flops of length 1 and 2 from D2-branes at surface singularities
Marina Moleti, Roberto Valandro
We study families of deformed ADE surfaces by probing them with a D2-brane in Type IIA string theory. The geometry of the total space of such a family can be encoded in a scala…
