Magnetic Quivers from Brane Webs with O5 Planes

Understand

Magnetic quivers have led to significant progress in the understanding of gauge theories with 8 supercharges at UV fixed points.

• For a given low-energy gauge theory realised via a Type II brane construction, there exist magnetic quivers for the Higgs branches at finite and infinite gauge coupling.
• Comparing these moduli spaces allows to study the non-perturbative effects when transitioning to the fixed point.
• For 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$ SQCD, 5-brane webs have been an important tool for deriving magnetic quivers.
