A number of N=2 gauge theories can be realized by brane configurations in Type IIA string theory. One way of solving them involves lifting the brane configuration to M-theory. In this paper we present an alternative way of analyzing a subclass of these theories (elliptic models). We observe that upon compactification on a circle one can use a version of mirror symmetry to map the original brane configuration into one containing only D-branes. Simultaneously the Coulomb branch of the four-dimensional theory is mapped to the Higgs branch of a five-dimensional theory with three-dimensional impurities. The latter does not receive quantum corrections and can be analyzed exactly. The solution is naturally formulated in terms of an integrable system, which is a version of a Hitchin system on a punctured torus.

    Twisted holography is conjectured to extend from orbifolds to orientifolds, with bulk duals given by unoriented or oriented topological strings on SL2C/Γ, where orientifold data is encoded by a spin structure.
