Tinkertoys for the Twisted $E_6$ Theory
Abstract
We study superconformal field theories that arise as the compactification of the six-dimensional theory of type on a punctured Riemann surface in the presence of outer-automorphism twists. We explicitly carry out the classification of these theories in terms of three-punctured spheres and cylinders, and provide tables of properties of the -twisted punctures. An expression is given for the superconformal index of a fixture with twisted punctures of type , which we use to check our identifications. Several of our fixtures have Higgs branches which are isomorphic to instanton moduli spaces, and we find that S-dualities involving these fixtures imply interesting isomorphisms between hyperK\"ahler quotients of these spaces. Additionally, we find families of fixtures for which the Sommers-Achar group, which was previously a Coulomb branch concept, acts non-trivially on the Higgs branch operators.
