We show that toric geometry can be used rather effectively to translate a brane configuration to geometry. Roughly speaking the skeletons of toric space are identified with the brane configurations. The cases where the local geometry involves hypersurfaces in toric varieties (such as P^2 blown up at more than 3 points) presents a challenge for the brane picture. We also find a simple physical explanation of Batyrev's construction of mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds using T-duality.

  1. Abelian Orbifolds for Brane Brick Models

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    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. Meromorphic amplitudes from 3-dimensional supersymmetry

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Coon amplitude equals 3d N=2 half-index of XYZ model with boundary conditions; IR flow gives Veneziano amplitude, and elliptic completion of q^ST yields a meromorphic positive version.

  3. $S^3$ partition functions and Equivariant CY$_4 $/CY$_3$ correspondence from Quantum curves

    hep-th 2026-03 conditional novelty 7.0

    Derives Airy representation for S^3 partition functions in M2-brane theories that exactly matches equivariant topological string predictions and proposes a new CY4 to C x CY3 correspondence via quantum curves.

  4. Shell formulas for instantons and gauge origami

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A new shell formula unifies and delivers explicit closed-form expressions plus recursions for instanton partition functions in 5d SYM and multiple gauge origami configurations using arbitrary-dimensional Young diagrams.

    hep-th 2021-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Constructs Symmetry TFTs for M-theory compactifications by reducing the topological sector of 11d supergravity on the boundary of X using differential cohomology, with applications to 7d SYM and 5d SCFTs confirmed via...

  6. Thermodynamic limit for SO(2N) gauge theories with spinors/conjugate spinors

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    The distinction between spinor and conjugate spinor matter in 5D SO(2N) gauge theories manifests as different boundary conditions on the Seiberg-Witten curve at O5-plane positions (w=±1).
