Abstract We consider the Higgs branch of 5d fixed points engineered using brane webs with an O7+-plane. We use the brane construction to propose a set of rules to extract the corresponding magnetic quivers. Such magnetic quivers are generically framed non-simply-laced quivers containing unitary as well as special unitary gauge nodes. We compute the Coulomb branch Hilbert series of the proposed magnetic quivers. In some specific cases, an alternative magnetic quiver can be obtained either using an ordinary brane web or a brane web with an O5-plane. In these cases, we find a match at the level of the Hilbert series.

We analyse the Higgs branch of 4d \mathcal{N}=2𝒩=2 SQCD gauge theories with non-connected gauge groups \widetilde{\mathrm{SU}}(N) = \mathrm{SU}(N) \rtimes_{I,II} \mathbb{Z}_2SŨ(N)=SU(N)⋊I,IIℤ2 whose study was initiated in . We derive the Hasse diagrams corresponding to the Higgs mechanism using adapted characters for representations of non-connected groups. We propose 3d \mathcal{N}=4𝒩=4 magnetic quivers for the Higgs branches in the type II discrete gauging case, in the form of recently introduced wreathed quivers, and provide extensive checks by means of Coulomb branch Hilbert series computations.

Abstract We propose quivers for Coulomb branch constructions of universal implosions for orthogonal and symplectic groups, extending the work on special unitary groups in [1]. The quivers are unitary-orthosymplectic as opposed to the purely unitary quivers in the A-type case. Where possible we check our proposals using Hilbert series techniques.

Abstract For any gauge theory, there may be a subgroup of the gauge group which acts trivially on the matter content. While many physical observables are not sensitive to this fact, the choice of the precise gauge group becomes crucial when the magnetic lattice of the theory is considered. This question is addressed in the context of Coulomb branches for 3d $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 quiver gauge theories, which are moduli spaces of dressed monopole operators. We compute the Coulomb branch Hilbert series of many unitary-orthosymplectic quivers for different choices of gauge groups, including diagonal quotients of the product gauge group of individual factors, where the quotient is by a trivially acting subgroup. Choosing different such diagonal groups results in distinct Coulomb branches, related as orbifolds. Examples include nilpotent orbit closures of the exceptional E-type algebras and magnetic quivers that arise from brane physics. This includes Higgs branches of theories with 8 supercharges in dimensions 4, 5, and 6. A crucial ingredient in the calculation of exact refined Hilbert series is the alternative construction of unframed magnetic quivers from resolved Slodowy slices, whose Hilbert series can be derived from Hall-Littlewood polynomials.

We derive the algebraic description of the Coulomb branch of 3d \mathcal{N}=4𝒩=4USp(2N)USp(2N) SQCD theories with N_fNf fundamental hypermultiplets and determine their low energy physics in any vacuum from the local geometry of the moduli space, identifying the interacting SCFTs which arise at singularities and possible extra free sectors. The SCFT with the largest moduli space arises at the most singular locus on the Coulomb branch. For N_f > 2NNf>2N (good theories) it sits at the origin of the conical variety as expected. For N_f =2NNf=2N we find two separate most singular points, from which the two isomorphic components of the Higgs branch of the UV theory emanate. The SCFTs sitting at any of these two vacua have only odd dimensional Coulomb branch generators, which transform under an accidental SU(2)SU(2) global symmetry. We provide a direct derivation of their moduli spaces of vacua, and propose a Lagrangian mirror theory for these fixed points. For 2 \leq N_f < 2N2≤Nf<2N the most singular locus has one or two extended components, for N_fNf odd or even, and the low energy theory involves an interacting SCFT of one of the above types, plus free twisted hypermultiplets. For N_f=0,1Nf=0,1 the Coulomb branch is smooth. We complete our analysis by studying the low energy theory at the symmetric vacuum of theories with N < N_f \le 2NN<Nf≤2N, which exhibits a local Seiberg-like duality.

We study the complete moduli space of vacua of 3d \mathcal{N}=4𝒩=4U(N)U(N) SQCD theories with N_fNf fundamentals, building on the algebraic description of the Coulomb branch, and deduce the low energy physics in any vacuum from the local geometry of the moduli space. We confirm previous claims for good and ugly SQCD theories, and show that bad theories flow to the same interacting fixed points as good theories with additional free twisted hypermultiplets. A Seiberg-like duality proposed for bad theories with N \le N_f \le 2N-2N≤Nf≤2N−2 is ruled out: the spaces of vacua of the putative dual theories are different. However such bad theories have a distinguished vacuum, which preserves all the global symmetries, whose infrared physics is that of the proposed dual. We finally explain previous results on sphere partition functions and elucidate the relation between the UV and IR RR-symmetry in this symmetric vacuum.

Abstract We study the moduli space of 3d $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 quiver gauge theories with unitary, orthogonal and symplectic gauge nodes, that fall into exceptional sequences. We find that both the Higgs and Coulomb branches of the moduli space factorise into decoupled sectors. Each decoupled sector is described by a single quiver gauge theory with only unitary gauge nodes. The orthosymplectic quivers serve as magnetic quivers for 5d $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 superconformal field theories which can be engineered in type IIB string theories both with and without an O5 plane. We use this point of view to postulate the dual pairs of unitary and orthosymplectic quivers by deriving them as magnetic quivers of the 5d theory. We use this correspondence to conjecture exact highest weight generating functions for the Coulomb branch Hilbert series of the orthosymplectic quivers, and provide tests of these results by directly computing the Hilbert series for the orthosymplectic quivers in a series expansion.
