Coulomb branches of a set of $3d\ \mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric gauge theories are closures of nilpotent orbits of the algebra $\mathfrak{so}(n)$. From the point of view of string theory, these quantum field theories can be understood as effective gauge ...

Chaotic instability in the BFSS matrix model
Chaotic scattering is a manifestation of transient chaos realized by the scattering with non-integrable potential. When the initial position is taken in the potential, a particle initially exhibits chaotic motion, but escapes outside after a certain ...

Quantum thermodynamics of an M2-M5 brane system
We will investigate a system of M2-M5 branes as a black M2-M5 bound state. The behavior of this system will be investigated at short distances. At such scales, we will have to incorporate quantum gravitational corrections to the supergravity solutions ...

3d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 brane webs and quiver matrices
We discuss 3d brane webs and effective Chern-Simons levels for 3d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 gauge theories. We find that turning on real masses for chiral multiplets leads to various equivalent brane webs that are related by flipping positions of D5-branes.

The Cat’s Cradle: deforming the higher rank E 1 and E ˜ 1 $$ {\tilde{E}}_1 $$ theories
We use 5-brane webs to study the two-dimensional space of supersymmetric mass deformations of higher rank generalizations of the 5d E 1 and E ˜ 1 $$ {\tilde{E}}_1 $$ theories.

Nonlinear electrodynamics without birefringence
All solutions of the no-birefringence conditions for nonlinear electrodynamics are found. In addition to the known Born-Infeld and Plebanski cases, we find a “reverse Born-Infeld” case, which has a limit to Plebanski, and an “extreme-Born-Infeld” case ...

Seiberg-Witten curves with O7 ± -planes
We construct Seiberg-Witten curves for 5d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 gauge theories whose Type IIB 5-brane configuration involves an O7-plane and discuss an intriguing relation between theories with an O7+-plane and those with an O7 − -plane and 8 D7-branes.

On the BPS Sector in AdS3/CFT2 Holography
Abstract The BPS sector in AdS3/CFT2$AdS_3/CFT_2$ duality has been fertile ground for the exploration of gauge/gravity duality, from the match between black hole entropy and the CFT elliptic genus to the construction of large families of geometrical microstates and the identification of the corresponding states in the CFT.

A comment on 4d and 5d BPS states
We discuss a phenomenon in supersymmetric field theory and string theory whereby compactifying one of the dimensions of spacetime on an arbitrarily large circle can cause BPS states to become unstable. We exemplify this by considering 5d N $$ \mathcal{N}

Fibrations and Hasse diagrams for 6d SCFTs
We study the full moduli space of vacua of 6d worldvolume SCFTs on M5 branes probing an A-type singularity, focusing on the geometric incarnation of the discrete gauging mechanism which acts as a discrete quotient on the Higgs branch fibered over the ...
