(Symplectic) Leaves and (5d Higgs) Branches in the Poly(go)nesian Tropical Rain Forest
read the original abstract
We derive the structure of the Higgs branch of 5d superconformal field theories or gauge theories from their realization as a generalized toric polygon (or dot diagram). This approach is motivated by a dual, tropical curve decomposition of the $(p,q)$ 5-brane-web system. We define an edge coloring, which provides a decomposition of the generalized toric polygon into a refined Minkowski sum of sub-polygons, from which we compute the magnetic quiver. The Coulomb branch of the magnetic quiver is then conjecturally identified with the 5d Higgs branch. Furthermore, from partial resolutions, we identify the symplectic leaves of the Higgs branch and thereby the entire foliation structure. In the case of strictly toric polygons, this approach reduces to the description of deformations of the Calabi-Yau singularities in terms of Minkowski sums.

5d Higgs Branches: Stratifications from Geometry
Dynamical complex structure deformations of non-compact Calabi-Yau threefolds with non-isolated singularities reproduce the full Higgs branch stratification of 5d SCFTs, matching magnetic quiver predictions.

M-theory geometries from five-brane webs, seven-branes, and T-branes
T-dualizing D5/D7 junctions yields smooth D6 curves whose spectral data (from coherent sheaves) give explicit complex-structure deformations of the dual M-theory threefold, with s-rule violations appearing as poles.
