We approach the topic of Classical group nilpotent orbits from the perspective of their moduli spaces, described in terms of Hilbert series and generating functions. We review the established Higgs and Coulomb branch quiver theory…

Supersymmetric Sp(k) quantum chromodynamics with 8 supercharges in space-time dimensions 3 to 6 can be realised by two different Type II brane configurations in the presence of orientifolds. Consequently, two types of magnetic quivers…

We study variants of Hikita conjecture for Nakajima quiver varieties and corresponding Coulomb branches. First, we derive the equivariant version of the conjecture from the non-equivariant one for a set of gauge theories. Second, we suggest…

We build on previous studies of the Higgs and Coulomb branches of SUSY quiver theories having 8 supercharges, including $3d~{\cal N}=4$, and Classical gauge groups. The vacuum moduli spaces of many such theories can be parameterised by…

The Higgs branch of minimally supersymmetric five dimensional SQCD theories increases in a significant way at the UV fixed point when the inverse gauge coupling is tuned to zero. It has been a long standing problem to figure out how, and to…

To a quiver with involution, we study the Coulomb branch of the 3d $\mathcal{N} = 4$ involution-fixed part of the quiver gauge theory. We show that there is an algebra homomorphism from the corresponding shifted twisted Yangian to the…

For $\Gamma$ a quiver without 1-cycles, we show that the Braverman--Finkelberg--Najakima quantized $K$-theoretic Coulomb branch algebra $\mathscr{A}_\Gamma$ of the corresponding quiver gauge theory is isomorphic to the quantized universally…

We study Hasse diagrams of moduli spaces of $\mathrm{3d}$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ quiver gauge theories. The goal of this work is twofold: 1) We introduce the notion of inverting a Hasse diagram and conjecture that the Coulomb branch and Higgs…

Quiver theories constitute an important class of supersymmetric gauge theories with well-defined holographic duals. Motivated by holographic duality, we use localisation on $S^d$ to study long linear quivers at large-N. The large-N solution…

We show that a large subclass of 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ quiver gauge theories consisting of unitary and special unitary gauge nodes with only fundamental/bifundamental matter have multiple Seiberg-like IR duals. A generic quiver $\mathcal{T}$…

We study particular families of bad 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ quiver gauge theories, whose Higgs branches consist of many cones. We show the role of a novel brane configuration in realizing the Higgs moduli for each distinct cone. Through brane…

We construct a surjective homomorphism from the (suitably interpreted) double loop-nilpotent $K$-theoretic Hall algebra to the Coulomb branch algebra of a quiver gauge theory, using the shuffle algebra interpretation.

The physics of M5 branes placed near an M9 plane on an A-type ALE singularity exhibits a variety of phenomena that introduce additional massless degrees of freedom. There are tensionless strings whenever two M5 branes coincide or whenever…
