Abstract

N=2\mathcal{N}=2 supersymmetric Spin(n)Spin(n) gauge theory admits hypermultiplets in spinor representations of the gauge group, compatible with β0\beta\leq0, for n14n\leq 14. The theories with β<0\beta<0 can be obtained as mass-deformations of the β=0\beta=0 theories, so it is of greatest interest to construct the β=0\beta=0 theories. In previous works, we discussed the n8n\leq8 theories. Here, we turn to the 9n149\leq n\leq 14 cases. By compactifying the DND_N (2,0) theory on a 4-punctured sphere, we find Seiberg-Witten solutions to almost all of the remaining cases. There are five theories, however, which do not seem to admit a realization from six dimensions.
