On the moduli space of elliptic Maxwell-Chern-Simons theories

Understand

We analyze the moduli space of the low-energy limit of 3-dimensional N=3 Maxwell-Chern-Simons theories described by circular quiver diagrams, as for 4-dimensional elliptic models.

• We define the theories by using D3-NS5-(k,1)5-brane systems with an arbitrary number of fivebranes.
• The supersymmetry is expected to be enhanced to N=4 in the low-energy limit.
• We show that the Higgs branch, in which all bifundamental scalar fields develop vacuum expectation values, is an abelian orbifold of C^4.
