We reconstruct non-trivial 6d theories obtained by Blum and Intriligator by considering IIB or SO(32) 5 branes at ALE spaces in the language of Hanany Witten setups. Using ST duality we make the equivalence of the two approaches manifest, thereby uncovering several new T-duality relations between the group theoretic data describing the embedding of the instantonic 5 brane in the ALE and brane positions in the Hanany Witten language. We construct several new 6d theories, which can be understood as arising on 5 branes in IIB orientifolds with oppositely charged orientifold planes recently introduced by Witten.

  1. Atomic Higgsings of 6D SCFTs II: Induced Flows

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For 6d SCFTs, atomic endpoint-changing Higgsings (induced flows) are identified with induced nilpotent orbits, and an analogous induction of discrete E8 homomorphisms is physically defined for orbi-instanton theories.

  2. Surface Defects in $A$-type Little String Theories

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The authors give a combinatorial partition function for A-type little string theories with a full-type surface defect and argue that two NS-limit regularizations are both regular due to a recursive pole-cancellation identity.
