4d N=2 Gauge Theories and Quivers: the Non-Simply Laced Case

Cecotti, Sergio, Del Zotto, Michele

Understand

We construct the BPS quivers with superpotential for the 4d N=2 gauge theories with non-simply laced Lie groups (B_n, C_n, F_4 and G_2).

The construction is inspired by the BIKMSV geometric engineering of these gauge groups as non-split singular elliptic fibrations.
From the categorical viewpoint of arXiv:1203.6743, the fibration of the light category L(g) over the (degenerate) Gaiotto curve has a monodromy given by the action of the outer automorphism of the corresponding unfolded Lie algebra.
In view of the Katz--Vafa `matter from geometry' mechanism, the monodromic idea may be extended to the construction of (Q, W) for SYM coupled to higher matter representations.
