Abstract

Quotient quiver subtraction is a simple combinatorial prescription for gauging Coulomb branch isometry subgroups of 3d N=4\mathcal{N}=4 quiver gauge theories. This paper uses Type IIB brane constructions with O5\mathrm{O5} planes to extend the prescription to gauge Sp(n),  SO(n)\mathrm{Sp}(n),\;\mathrm{SO}(n), and Sp(n)\mathrm{Sp}(n) coupled to a half-hypermultiplet Coulomb branch isometry subgroups of quivers with unitary gauge groups. The gauging procedure is no longer solely a subtraction -- additional steps change the graph type. The method is applied to provide alternative constructions of the Higgs branch of certain SCFTs in higher dimensions.
