Small instanton transitions for M5 fractions

Noppadol Mekareeya, Kantaro Ohmori, Hiroyuki Shimizu +1

M5-branes on an ADE singularity are described by certain six-dimensional "conformal matter" superconformal field theories. Their Higgs moduli spaces contain information about vario…

Anomaly constraints on deconfinement and chiral phase transition

Hiroyuki Shimizu, Kazuya Yonekura

We study constraints on thermal phase transitions of gauge theories by using the 't Hooft anomaly involving the center symmetry and chiral symmetry. We consider two…

Anomaly matching on the Higgs branch

Hiroyuki Shimizu, Yuji Tachikawa, Gabi Zafrir

We point out that we can almost always determine by the anomaly matching the full anomaly polynomial of a supersymmetric theory in 2d, 4d or 6d if we assume that its Higgs branch i…

Anomaly of strings of 6d theories

Hiroyuki Shimizu, Yuji Tachikawa

We obtain the anomaly polynomial of strings of general 6d theories in terms of anomaly inflow. Our computation sheds some light on the reason why the simplest…

Compactifications of 6d Theories and Brane Webs

Kantaro Ohmori, Hiroyuki Shimizu

We consider the circle and torus compactification of a certain subclass of 6d SCFTs which are Higgsable to the higher rank E-string theories. Using the T-dualit…

6d theories on and class S theories: part II

Kantaro Ohmori, Hiroyuki Shimizu, Yuji Tachikawa +1

We study the compactification of a class of 6d theories that is Higgsable to theories. We show that the resulting 4d $\mathcal{N}{…

6d theories on and class S theories: part I

Kantaro Ohmori, Hiroyuki Shimizu, Yuji Tachikawa +1

We show that the superconformal theory on a single M5 brane on the ALE space of type , when compactified on , becomes a class S theory of…

Anomaly polynomial of general 6d SCFTs

Kantaro Ohmori, Hiroyuki Shimizu, Yuji Tachikawa +1

We describe a method to determine the anomaly polynomials of general 6d and SCFTs, in terms of the anomaly matching on their tensor branches…

Anomaly polynomial of E-string theories

Kantaro Ohmori, Hiroyuki Shimizu, Yuji Tachikawa

We determine the anomaly polynomial of the E-string theory and its higher-rank generalizations, that is, the 6d superconformal theories on the worldvolume of…
