On p-form gauge theories and their conformal limits
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 Relations between the various formulations of nonlinear p-form electrodynamics with conformal-invariant weak-field and strong-field limits are clarified, with a focus on duality invariant (2n − 1)-form electrodynamics and chiral 2n-form electrodynamics ...

Searching for surface defect CFTs within AdS3
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We study AdS3 × S 3 / ℤ k × S ˜ 3 / ℤ k ′ $$ \times {S}^3/{\mathrm{\mathbb{Z}}}_k\times {\tilde{S}}^3/{\mathrm{\mathbb{Z}}}_{k^{\prime }} $$ solutions to M-theory preserving N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (0, 4) supersymmetries, arising as near-horizon limits of ...

A note on D0-branes and instantons in 5d supersymmetric gauge theories
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We refine a previous proposal for obtaining the multi-instanton partition function from the supersymmetric index of the 1d supersymmetric gauge theory on the worldline of D0-branes.

3d 𝒩 = 2 theories and plumbing graphs: adding matter, gauging, and new dualities
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 Recently, a large class of 3d 𝒩 = 2 gauge theories with mixed Chern-Simons levels, corresponding to plumbing 3-manifolds, has been identified. In this paper we generalize these theories by including in their content chiral multiples, and analyze their ...

Tropical geometry and five dimensional Higgs branches at infinite coupling
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 Superconformal five dimensional theories have a rich structure of phases and brane webs play a crucial role in studying their properties. This paper is devoted to the study of a three parameter family of SQCD theories, given by the number of colors N c ...

Balanced B and D-type orthosymplectic quivers — magnetic quivers for product theories
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We investigate orthosymplectic quivers that take the shape of D-type and B-type Dynkin diagrams. The D-type orthosymplectic quivers explored here contain a balanced “fork”, i.e.

A tale of exceptional 3d dualities
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We consider interesting Seiberg dualities for Usp gauge theories with an antisymmetric, 8 fundamentals and no superpotential. We reduce to three dimensions and systematically analyze deformations triggered by real and complex masses, reaching a plethora ...

Calabi-Yau products: graded quivers for general toric Calabi-Yaus
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 The open string sector of the topological B-model on CY (m + 2)-folds is described by m-graded quivers with superpotentials. This correspondence generalizes the connection between CY (m + 2)-folds and gauge theories on the worldvolume of D(5 − 2m)-branes

Moduli space singularities for 3d N = 4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ circular quiver gauge theories
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 The singularity structure of the Coulomb and Higgs branches of good 3d N = 4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ circular quiver gauge theories (CQGTs) with unitary gauge groups is studied. The central method employed is the Kraft-Procesi transition. CQGTs are described
