Abstract

Two-dimensional N=(0,4)\mathcal{N}=(0,4) supersymmetric quiver gauge theories are realized as D3-brane box configurations (two dimensional intervals) which are bounded by NS5-branes and intersect with D5-branes. The periodic brane configuration is mapped to D1-D5-D5' brane system at orbifold singularity via T-duality. The matter content and interactions are encoded by the N=(0,4)\mathcal{N}=(0,4) quiver diagrams which are determined by the brane configurations. The Abelian gauge anomaly cancellation indicates the presence of Fermi multiplets at the NS-NS' junction. We also discuss the brane construction of N=(0,4)\mathcal{N}=(0,4) supersymmetric boundary conditions in 3d N=4\mathcal{N}=4 gauge theories involving two-dimensional boundary degrees of freedom that cancel gauge anomaly.
