Coulomb and Higgs branches from canonical singularities. Part 0

Abstract:

Five- and four-dimensional superconformal field theories with eight supercharges arise from canonical threefold singularities in M-theory and Type IIB string theory, respectively. We study their Coulomb and Higgs branches using crepant resolutions and deformations of the singularities. We propose a relation between the resulting moduli spaces, by compactifying the theories to 3d, followed by 3d N = 4 mirror symmetry and an S-type gauging of an abelian flavor symmetry. In particular, we use th...
