abstract

We study the dynamics of a large class of N=1 quiver theories, geometrically realized by type IIB D-brane probes wrapping cycles of local Calabi-Yau threefolds. These include N=2 (affine) A-D-E quiver theories deformed by superpotential terms, as well as chiral N=1 quiver theories obtained in the presence of vanishing 4-cycles inside a Calabi-Yau. We consider the various possible geometric transitions of the 3-fold and show that they correspond to Seiberg-like dualities (represented by Weyl reflections in the A-D-E case or `mutations' of bundles in the case of vanishing 4-cycles) or large N dualities involving gaugino condensates (generalized conifold transitions). Also duality cascades are naturally realized in these classes of theories, and are related to the affine Weyl group symmetry in the A-D-E case.

Abelian Orbifolds for Brane Brick Models

hep-th · 2026-06-26 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A construction procedure that induces an abelian orbifold action on the fields and J/E-terms of a parent brane brick model for a toric CY4, yielding explicit orbifolded theories that preserve consistency conditions.

A class of half-BPS boundary conditions for $A_{K-1}$ circular quivers

hep-th · 2026-06-02 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Characterizes solutions to BPS equations for D4-branes ending on boundary D6-branes in A_{K-1} circular quivers, finding a winding phenomenon absent in linear quivers and proposing the maximal-winding case as S-dual to Neumann boundary conditions.
