The Higgs branch of 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs can be analyzed via the Hilbert series of the Higgs branch or, in special cases, by computing the Hall-Littlewood index. For any class $\mathcal{S}$ theory corresponding to a genus-zero Riemann…

We look at a family of 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ rank-0 orthosymplectic quiver gauge theories. We define a superconformal field theory (SCFT) to be rank-0 if either the Higgs branch or Coulomb branch is trivial. This family of non-linear…

We present an algorithm to extract the Coulomb branch Hasse diagram of orthosymplectic 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ quiver gauge theories. The algorithm systematically predicts all descendant theories arising from Coulomb branch Higgsing, thereby…

This is a supplement to [arXiv:1503.03676], where an approach towards a mathematically rigorous definition of the Coulomb branch of a $3$-dimensional $\mathcal N=4$ SUSY gauge theory was proposed. We ask questions on their expected…

We study the gravity duals of SO/USp superconformal quiver gauge theories realized by M5-branes wrapping on a Riemann surface ("G-curve") together with a Z_2-quotient. When the G-curve has no punctures, the gravity solutions are classified…

We study $N=1$ supersymmetric $SO(10)$ gauge theory with a field in the spinorial representaition and $N_f$ ($\leq8$) fields in the defining representation. It is shown that this theory for $N_f=7,8$ has a dual description, which is $N=1$…

We revisit the study of the maximally singular point in the Coulomb branch of 4d N=2 SU(N) gauge theory with N_f=2n flavors for N_f<2N. When n >= 2, we find that the low-energy physics is described by two non-trivial superconformal field…

We discuss a limit of 3d $T_\rho^\sigma[SU(N)]$ quiver gauge theories in which the number of nodes is large and the ranks scale quadratically with the length of the quiver. The sphere free energies and topologically twisted indices are…
