We study three-dimensional gauge dynamics by using type IIB superstring brane configurations, which can be obtained from the M-theory configuration of M2-branes stretched between two M5-branes with relative angles. Our construction of brane configurations includes (p,q)5-brane and gives a systematic classification of possible three-dimensional gauge theories. The explicit identification of gauge theories are made and their mirror symmetry is discussed. As a new feature, our theories include interesting Maxwell-Chern-Simons system whose vacuum structure is also examined in detail, obtaining results consistent with the brane picture.

  1. Meromorphic amplitudes from 3-dimensional supersymmetry

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  2. Orthosymplectic Chern-Simons Matter Theories: Global Forms, Dualities, and Vacua

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A magnetic quiver framework is introduced to extract maximal branches and global forms of 3d orthosymplectic Chern-Simons matter theories from brane configurations, with global data fixed via indices and Hilbert series.

  3. Five-brane webs, 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ theories and quantum curves

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The Newton polygon of the quantum curve for a 3d N=2 brane configuration is conjectured to equal the toric diagram dual to its (p,q) 5-brane web, with derivations for Lagrangian cases and new matrix models for p>=2.

  4. On the Origin of Toric Diagrams

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  5. Overlooking 3d dualities from mezzanines and balconies

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    New 3d dualities are obtained by T-duality reduction of 4d mezzanine and balcony models, with partition function matching after double scaling limit and a proof of required confining dualities via tensor deconfinement.

  6. Twisted traces and quantization of moduli stacks of 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ Chern-Simons-matter theories

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The sphere partition function of 3d N=4 Chern-Simons-matter theories is conjectured to equal a sum of twisted traces on Verma modules over the quantization of their moduli spaces of vacua, extending prior work and rev...
