We derive explicit formulae to compute the $a$ and $c$ central charges of four dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) directly from Coulomb branch related quantities. The formulae apply at arbitrary rank. We also…
We study the compactification of 5d SCFTs to 4d on a circle with a twist in a discrete global symmetry element of these SCFTs. We present evidence that this leads to various 4d N=2 isolated SCFTs. These include many known theories as well…
This letter considers 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ (unitary-)orthosymplectic quiver gauge theories originating from Type IIA and Type IIB brane systems with $\mathrm{ON}^0$ planes. Such theories lie outside the scope of present combinatorial…
Compactifying N=(1,0) theories on a torus, with additional fluxes for global symmetries, we obtain N=1 supersymmetric theories in four dimensions. It is shown that for many choices of flux these models are toric quiver gauge theories with…
We consider M-theory in the presence of M parallel M5-branes probing a transverse A_{N-1} singularity. This leads to a superconformal theory with (1,0) supersymmetry in six dimensions. We compute the supersymmetric partition function of…
A complete study of local singularities of rank two $\mathcal{N}=2$ Coulomb branch geometry is given. Low energy theory associated with the local singularity is identified: it can be superconformal field theory (SCFT), or IR free gauge…
We consider the circle and torus compactification of a certain subclass of 6d $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ SCFTs which are Higgsable to the higher rank E-string theories. Using the T-duality between Type I' and Type IIB, we found that the $S^1$…
We classify all possible charge lattices and 1-form symmetry groups for $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs with characteristic dimension $\varkappa \neq \{1,2\}$. For rank-$r$ SCFTs that are not stacks of lower rank theories the order of the 1-form…
We consider compactifications of very Higgsable 6d $N =(1,0)$ SCFTs on $T^2$ with non-trivial Stiefel-Whitney classes (or equivalently 't Hooft magnetic fluxes) introduced for their flavor symmetry groups. These systems can also be studied…
We construct supergravity plus branes solutions, which we argue to be related to 4d N=1 SQCD with a quartic superpotential. The geometries depend on the ratio Nf/Nc which can be kept of order one, present a good singularity at the origin…
Detailed studies of four dimensional N=2 superconformal field theories (SCFT) defined by isolated complete intersection singularities are performed: we compute the Coulomb branch spectrum, Seiberg-Witten solutions and central charges. Most…
Higgs fields are attributes of classical gauge theory on a principal bundle $P\to X$ whose structure Lie group $G$ if is reducible to a closed subgroup $H$. They are represented by sections of the quotient bundle $P/H\to X$. A problem lies…
We describe an infinite family of quiver gauge theories that are AdS/CFT dual to a corresponding class of explicit horizon Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. The quivers may be obtained from a family of orbifold theories by a simple iterative…
The purpose of this short note is to highlight a particular phenomenon which concerns the Higgs branch of a certain family of 4d N = 2 theories with SO(2N) flavour symmetry. By studying the Higgs branch as an algebraic variety through…
We study four dimensional N=1 gauge theories that arise on the worldvolume of D3-branes probing complex cones over del Pezzo surfaces. Global symmetries of the gauge theories are made explicit by using a correspondence between bifundamental…
We present a unified mathematical framework that elegantly describes minimally SUSY gauge theories in even dimension, ranging from $6d$ to $0d$, and their dualities. This approach combines recent developments on graded quiver with…
A magnetic quiver framework is proposed for studying maximal branches of 3d orthosymplectic Chern--Simons matter theories with $\mathcal{N} \geq 3$ supersymmetry, arising from Type IIB brane setups with O3 planes. These branches are…
We study a class of four-dimensional N=1 superconformal field theories obtained by wrapping M5-branes on a Riemann surface with punctures. We identify UV descriptions of four-dimensional SCFTs corresponding to curves with a class of…
We discuss quiver gauge models with matter fields based on Dynkin diagrams of Lie superalgebra structures. We focus on A(1,0) case and we find first that it can be related to intersecting complex cycles with genus $g$. Using toric geometry,…
We consider $3d$ $\mathcal{N}\!=\!2$ gauge theories with fundamental matter plus a single field in a rank-$2$ representation. Using iteratively a process of "deconfinement" of the rank-$2$ field, we produce a sequence of Seiberg-dual quiver…
