arise from canonical threefold singularities in M-theory and Type IIB string theory …

Snowmass white paper on SCFTs

PC Argyres, JJ Heckman, K Intriligator… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Superconformal field theories (SCFTs) occupy a central role in the study of many aspects of
quantum field theory. In this white paper for the Snowmass process we give a brief overview …

Rank E-string on a torus with flux

S Pasquetti, SS Razamat, M Sacchi, G Zafrir - SciPost Physics, 2020 - scipost.org
We discuss compactifications of rank $ Q $ E-string theory on a torus with fluxes for abelian
subgroups of the $ E_8 $ global symmetry of the $6 d $ SCFT. We argue that the theories …

The SL (2, ℤ) dualization algorithm at work

R Comi, C Hwang, F Marino, S Pasquetti… - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer
A bstract Recently an algorithm to dualize a theory into its mirror dual has been proposed,
both for 3d\(\mathcal {N}\)= 4 linear quivers and for their 4d\(\mathcal {N}\)= 1 uplift. This …

Twisted indices, Bethe ideals and 3d = 2 infrared dualities

C Closset, O Khlaif - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We study the topologically twisted index of 3d\(\mathcal {N}\)= 2 supersymmetric
gauge theories with unitary gauge groups. We implement a Gröbner basis algorithm for …

Flipping the head of T [SU (N)]: mirror symmetry, spectral duality and monopoles

F Aprile, S Pasquetti, Y Zenkevich - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 - Springer
A bstract We consider T [SU (N)] and its mirror, and we argue that there are two more dual
frames, which are obtained by adding flipping fields for the moment map on the Higgs and …

Dualities from dualities: the sequential deconfinement technique

LE Bottini, C Hwang, S Pasquetti, M Sacchi - Journal of High Energy …, 2022 - Springer
A bstract It is an interesting question whether a given infra-red duality between quantum field
theories can be explained in terms of other more elementary dualities. For example recently …

S-confinements from deconfinements

S Bajeot, S Benvenuti - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We consider four dimensional\(\mathcal {N}\)= 1 gauge theories that are S-
confining, that is they are dual to a Wess-Zumino model. S-confining theories with a simple …

Sequential deconfinement in 3d = 2 gauge theories

S Benvenuti, I Garozzo, G Lo Monaco - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract 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 …

A toolkit for ortho-symplectic dualities

S Benvenuti, GL Monaco - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We propose new confining dualities in 3d\(\mathcal {N}\)= 2 gauge theories with
orthogonal gauge groups, with and without monopole superpotentials. Deriving some of …
