Moduli space singularities for 3d N = 4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ circular quiver gauge theories

open access: yesJournal 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

Balanced B and D-type orthosymplectic quivers — magnetic quivers for product theories

open access: yesJournal 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.

Calabi-Yau products: graded quivers for general toric Calabi-Yaus

open access: yesJournal 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

Tropical geometry and five dimensional Higgs branches at infinite coupling

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

BFT2: a general class of 2d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (0, 2) theories, 3-manifolds and toric geometry

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
We introduce and initiate the study of a general class of 2d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (0, 2) quiver gauge theories, defined in terms of certain 2-dimensional CW complexes on oriented 3-manifolds. We refer to this class of theories as BFT2’s.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Swampland: The Cosmologist's Handbook to the String‐Theoretical Swampland Programme

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract String theory has strong implications for cosmology, implying the absence of a cosmological constant, ruling out single‐field slow‐roll inflation, and that black holes decay. The origins of these statements are elucidated within the string‐theoretical swampland programme.

Strings, branes, and gravity duals of gauge theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We study the correspondence between certain supersymmetric gauge theories and their dual supergravity descriptions. Using low-energy brane probes of the super-gravity geometries we find moduli spaces of vacua, as expected from considering the dual gauge ...

Lie 2-algebra models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In this paper, we begin the study of zero-dimensional field theories with fields taking values in a semistrict Lie 2-algebra. These theories contain the IKKT matrix model and various M-brane related models as special cases.

A tale of exceptional 3d dualities

open access: yesJournal 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 ...
