New Directions in Bipartite Field Theories

Understand

We perform a detailed investigation of Bipartite Field Theories (BFTs), a general class of 4d N=1 gauge theories which are defined by bipartite graphs.

• This class of theories is considerably expanded by identifying a new way of assigning gauge symmetries to graphs.
• A new procedure is introduced in order to determine the toric Calabi-Yau moduli spaces of BFTs.
• For graphs on a disk, we show that the matroid polytope for the corresponding cell in the Grassmannian coincides with the toric diagram of the BFT moduli space.
