The 5d tangram: brane webs, 7-branes and primitive T-cones
Two highly successful approaches to constructing 5d SCFTs are geometric engineering using M-theory on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold and the use of 5-brane webs suspended from 7-branes in Type IIB string theory.

A Study of the Early Cosmic Dynamics in a Multifield Model of Inflation and Curvature Perturbations
In this work, we study the cosmological dynamics of the early universe by employing a small field potential in the context of multifield inflation. By investigating analytically the cosmological observables, such as the number of e‐folds N, potential slow‐roll parameters ϵV, ηV, and spectral index ns which carry significant information, we show that ...

Super Yang-Mills theories with inhomogeneous mass deformations
We construct the 4-dimensional N = 1 2 $$ \mathcal{N}=\frac{1}{2} $$ and N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 inhomogeneously mass-deformed super Yang-Mills theories from the N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1* and N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2* theories, respectively, and analyse ...

Quadrality for supersymmetric matrix models
We introduce a new duality for N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 supersymmetric gauged matrix models. This 0d duality is an order 4 symmetry, namely an equivalence between four different theories, hence we call it Quadrality.

A string theory realization of special unitary quivers in 3 dimensions
We propose a string theory realization of three-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 quiver gauge theories with special unitary gauge groups. This is most easily understood in type IIA string theory with D4-branes wrapped on holomorphic curves in local K3’

Probing quantum curves and transitions in 5d SQFTs via defects and blowup equations
We investigate codimension-2 defect partition functions and quantum Seiberg-Witten curves in 5d rank-1 supersymmetric QFTs, including non-Lagrangian and Kaluza-Klein theories.

Higgsing and twisting of 6d D N gauge theories
We propose Type IIB 5-brane configurations that engineer the 6d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (1, 0) SCFTs with SO(N) gauge symmetry coupled to a single tensor multiplet on a circle, by considering RG flows on Higgs branches of D-type conformal matter theories ...

Graded quivers, generalized dimer models and toric geometry
The open string sector of the topological B-model on CY (m + 2)-folds is de- scribed by m-graded quivers with superpotentials. This correspondence extends to general m the well known connection between CY (m + 2)-folds and gauge theories on the world ...

Dualities of corner configurations and supersymmetric indices
We compute supersymmetric indices which count local operators at certain half-BPS interfaces and quarter-BPS junctions of interfaces in four-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory.

Deconstruction and surface defects in 6d CFTs
We study the two families of AdS3 × S 3 × S 2 × Σ2 solutions to massive Type IIA supergravity with small and large (0, 4) supersymmetries constructed recently in the literature, in connection with the AdS7 × S 2 × I solutions to massive Type IIA, to ...
