Abstract

We develop a classification of \emph{minimally unbalanced} 3d N=43d~\mathcal{N}=4 quiver gauge theories. These gauge theories are important because the isometry group GG of their Coulomb branch contains a single factor, which is either a classical or an exceptional Lie group. Concurrently, this provides a classification of hyperk\"ahler cones with isometry group GG which are obtainable by Coulomb branch constructions. HyperK\"ahler cones such as Coulomb branches of 3d N=43d~\mathcal{N}=4 quivers are indispensable tools for describing Higgs branches of different theories in various dimensions. In particular, they are used to describe Higgs branches of 5d N=15d~\mathcal{N}=1 SQCD with gauge group SU(Nc)SU(N_c) and 6d N=(1,0)6d~\mathcal N = (1,0) SQCD with gauge group Sp(Nc)Sp(N_c) at the respective UV fixed points.
