We initiate a systematic study of 2d (0,2) quiver gauge theories on the worldvolume of D1-branes probing singular toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds. We present an algorithm for efficiently calculating the classical mesonic moduli spaces of these theories, which correspond to the probed geometries. We also introduce a systematic procedure for constructing the gauge theories for arbitrary toric singularities by means of partial resolution, which translates to higgsing in the field theory. Finally, we introduce Brane Brick Models, a novel class of brane configurations that consist of D4-branes suspended from an NS5-brane wrapping a holomorphic surface, tessellating a 3-torus. Brane Brick Models are the 2d analogues of Brane Tilings and allow a direct connection between geometry and gauge theory.

  1. Abelian Orbifolds for Brane Brick Models

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  2. Quiver BPS Indices from Crystal Profiles

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Elliptic genera and lower-dimensional BPS indices equal discrete sums over molecule boundaries in crystals defined by Jeffrey-Kirwan residues, generalizing Nekrasov Young-diagram formulas.

  3. Quiver-Invariant Dualities between Brane Tilings

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A tilting mutation of brane tilings yields distinct superpotentials on the same quiver with identical mesonic moduli space, equivalent to a sequence of Seiberg dualities.

  4. Birational Transformations and 2d (0,2) Quiver Gauge Theories beyond Toric Fano 3-folds

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Mass deformations of 2d (0,2) brane brick models are shown in four explicit examples to implement birational transformations of toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds, including non-reflexive toric diagrams.

  5. Chern Characteristics and Todd-Hirzebruch Identities for Transpolar Pairs of Toric Spaces

    hep-th 2024-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Transpolar pairs involving VEX multitopes yield smooth toric spaces whose Chern classes satisfy Todd-Hirzebruch identities and belong to deformation families of generalized complete intersections.
