Brane Dimers and Quiver Gauge Theories
read the original abstract
We describe a technique which enables one to quickly compute an infinite number of toric geometries and their dual quiver gauge theories. The central object in this construction is a ``brane tiling,'' which is a collection of D5-branes ending on an NS5-brane wrapping a holomorphic curve that can be represented as a periodic tiling of the plane. This construction solves the longstanding problem of computing superpotentials for D-branes probing a singular non-compact toric Calabi-Yau manifold, and overcomes many difficulties which were encountered in previous work. The brane tilings give the largest class of N=1 quiver gauge theories yet studied. A central feature of this work is the relation of these tilings to dimer constructions previously studied in a variety of contexts. We do many examples of computations with dimers, which give new results as well as confirm previous computations. Using our methods we explicitly derive the moduli space of the entire Y^{p,q} family of quiver theories, verifying that they correspond to the appropriate geometries. Our results may be interpreted as a generalization of the McKay correspondence to non-compact 3-dimensional toric Calabi-Yau manifolds.

Towards Generalized Dimers for GTPs: $\mathcal{N}=2$ Fractional Branes at Infinite Coupling
N=2 strip condensation — collapsing parallel zig-zag strips in brane tilings — reproduces the expected number of gauge groups and yields GTP quivers related to toric ones by relevant deformations.

Abelian Orbifolds for Brane Brick Models
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.

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...

Dimers for Relativistic Toda Models with Reflective Boundaries
Dimer graphs are constructed for relativistic Toda chains of listed Lie algebra types, and Seiberg-Witten curves of 5d N=1 pure SYM for group G are identified as spectral curves of the dual Toda chain for G^vee.

On the Origin of Toric Diagrams
A field's scaling dimension equals the number of perfect matchings at the chosen origin that contain it, making the gauge-theory Hilbert series equal the Ehrhart series of the dual polytope.

Universal Planar Abelian Duals for 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ Symplectic CS-SQCD
New dualities are proposed between 3d N=2 USp(2N) CS-SQCD and Abelian planar quivers, obtained via real-mass deformations of N=4 mirrors and supported by matching partition functions, indices, and operator spectra.
