Refined topological vertex with ON-planes
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We propose refined topological vertex formalism for 5-brane systems with ON-planes by introducing a new vertex associated with reflection over an ON-plane, which gives rise to new vertex and edge factors.

Structure of anomalies of 4d SCFTs from M5-branes, and anomaly inflow
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We study the ’t Hooft anomalies of four-dimensional superconformal field theories that arise from M5-branes wrapped on a punctured Riemann surface. In general there are two independent contributions to the anomalies.

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 ...

Phases of U (N c ) QCD3 from type 0 strings and Seiberg duality
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We propose an embedding of U(N c ) QCD3 with a Chern-Simons term in string theory. The UV gauge theory lives on the worldvolume of a Hanany-Witten brane configuration in type 0B string theory in the presence of Sagnotti’s O′3 orientifold.

Defining the Force between Separated Sources on a Light Front [PDF]
, 1999 The Newtonian character of gauge theories on a light front requires that the longitudinal momentum P^+, which plays the role of Newtonian mass, be conserved.

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 ...

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 ...

Type IIB Superstrings, BPS Monopoles, And Three-Dimensional Gauge Dynamics [PDF]
, 1996 We propose an explanation via string theory of the correspondence between the Coulomb branch of certain three-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories and certain moduli spaces of magnetic monopoles. The same construction also gives an explanation, via $

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.

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
