D-branes can end on orbifold planes if the action of the orbifold group includes (-1)^{F_L}. We consider configurations of D-branes ending on such orbifolds and study the low-energy theory on their worldvolume. We apply our results to gauge theories with eight supercharges in three and four dimensions. We explain how mirror symmetry for N=4 d=3 gauge theories with gauge group Sp(k) and matter in the antisymmetric tensor and fundamental representations follows from S-duality of IIB string theory. We argue that some of these theories have hidden Fayet-Iliopoulos deformations, not visible classically. We also study a class of finite N=2 d=4 theories (so-called D_n quiver theories) and find their exact solution. The integrable model corresponding to the exact solution is a Hitchin system on an orbifold Riemann surface. We also give a simple derivation of the S-duality group of these theories based on their relationship to SO(2n) instantons on R^2\times T^2.

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new mirror-like dualization algorithm produces abelian planar duals for a broad class of chiral N=2 Chern-Simons quiver theories, with explicit symmetry-enhancement predictions.

  2. A Pathway to Decay and Fission of Orthosymplectic Quiver Theories

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An orthosymplectic extension of the Decay and Fission algorithm is proposed, validated on class S and 6d orbi-instanton quivers, and used to predict new Higgs branch RG flows.

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.
