Higgs branches of 5d rank-zero theories from geometry
read the original abstract
We study the Higgs branches of five-dimensional N=1 rank-zero theories obtained from M-theory on two classes non-toric non-compact Calabi-Yau threefolds: Reid's pagodas, and Laufer's examples. Our approach consists in reducing to IIA with D6-branes and O6-planes, and computing the open-string spectra giving rise to hypermultiplets. Starting with the seven-dimensional worldvolume theories, we switch on T-brane backgrounds to give rise to bound states with angles. We observe that the resulting partially Higgsed 5d theories have discrete gauge groups, from which we readily deduce the geometry of the Higgs branches as orbifolds of quaternionic varieties.

5d Trinions and Tetraons
The authors construct 5d SCFT trinions and tetraons with D flavor symmetry via M-theory, producing non-linear quivers with instanton symmetry enhancement and ruling out E-type cases.

D2-brane probes of non-toric cDV threefolds via monopole superpotentials
D2-brane probes of non-toric cDV threefolds are described by N=2 deformations of 3d N=4 affine Dynkin quivers using polynomial and monopole superpotentials, with 3d mirror symmetry reproducing the known quiver-collaps...

From Quivers to Geometry: 5d Conformal Matter
All 5d balanced (ADE-shaped) SU quivers with no Chern-Simons level have UV completions as 5d conformal matter SCFTs realized by explicit local Calabi-Yau threefolds in M-theory.
