Mass Deformations of Brane Brick Models
Sebastian Franco, Dongwook Ghim, Georgios P. Goulas +1
We investigate a class of mass deformations that connect pairs of 2d (0,2) gauge theories associated to different toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds. These deformations are generalizations t…
Twin Theories, Polytope Mutations and Quivers for GTPs
Sebastián Franco, Rak-Kyeong Seong
We propose a unified perspective on two sets of objects that usually arise in the study of bipartite field theories. Each of the sets consists of a polytope, or equivalently a tori…
Brane Brick Models for the Sasaki-Einstein 7-Manifolds Y^{p,k}(CP^1 x CP^1) and Y^{p,k}(CP^2)
Sebastian Franco, Dongwook Ghim, Rak-Kyeong Seong
The 2d (0,2) supersymmetric gauge theories corresponding to the classes of Y^{p,k}(CP^1 x CP^1) and Y^{p,k}(CP^2) manifolds are identified. The complex cones over these Sasaki-Eins…
The Octagon at large M
Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Sebastián Franco +4
Recently, the first instance of a model of D-branes at Calabi-Yau singularities where supersymmetry is broken dynamically into stable vacua has been proposed. This construction was…
Fano 3-Folds, Reflexive Polytopes and Brane Brick Models
Sebastian Franco, Rak-Kyeong Seong
Reflexive polytopes in n dimensions have attracted much attention both in mathematics and theoretical physics due to their connection to Fano n-folds and mirror symmetry. This work…
Quivers, Lattice Gauge Theories and Fractons
Sebastian Franco, Diego Rodriguez-Gomez
We argue that quiver gauge theories with gauge groups give rise to lattice gauge theories with matter possessing fractonic properties, where the lattice is the quiver itsel…
