Abstract

We extend the study of superinstantons presented in 1905.01513 to include orthosymplectic supergroup gauge theories, Bn0n1B_{n_0|n_1}, CnC_n, and Dn0n1D_{n_0|n_1}. We utilize equivariant localization to obtain the LMNS contour integral formula for the instanton partition function, and we investigate the Seiberg--Witten geometries associated with these theories. We also explore the brane configurations involving positive and negative branes together with O-planes that realize the orthosymplectic supergroup theories.
