N=4 Superconformal Chern-Simons Theories with Hyper and Twisted Hyper Multiplets
read the original abstract
We extend the N=4 superconformal Chern-Simons theories of Gaiotto and Witten to those with additional twisted hyper-multiplets. The new theories are generically linear quiver gauge theories with the two types of hyper-multiplets alternating between gauge groups. Our construction includes the Bagger-Lambert model of SO(4) gauge group. A family of abelian theories are identified with those proposed earlier in the context of the M-crystal model for M2-branes probing (C^2/Z_n)^2 orbifolds. Possible extension with non-abelian BF couplings and string/M-theory realization are briefly discussed.

Orthosymplectic Chern-Simons Matter Theories: Global Forms, Dualities, and Vacua
A magnetic quiver framework is introduced to extract maximal branches and global forms of 3d orthosymplectic Chern-Simons matter theories from brane configurations, with global data fixed via indices and Hilbert series.

Twisted traces and quantization of moduli stacks of 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ Chern-Simons-matter theories
Sphere partition functions of 3d N=4 Chern-Simons-matter theories are conjectured to equal sums of twisted traces on Verma modules over quantized moduli stacks of vacua.

The sphere partition function of 3d N=4 Chern-Simons-matter theories is conjectured to equal a sum of twisted traces on Verma modules over the quantization of their moduli spaces of vacua, extending prior work and rev...
