We develop a classification of emph{minimally unbalanced} $3d~mathcal{N}=4$ quiver gauge theories. These gauge theories are important because the isometry group $G$ of their Coulomb branch contains a single factor, which is either a classical or an exceptional Lie group. Concurrently, this provides a classification of hyperkahler cones with isometry group $G$ which are obtainable by Coulomb branch constructions. HyperKahler cones such as Coulomb branches of $3d~mathcal{N}=4$ quivers are indispensable tools for describing Higgs branches of different theories in various dimensions. In particular, they are used to describe Higgs branches of $5d~mathcal{N}=1$ SQCD with gauge group $SU(N_c)$ and $6d~mathcal N = (1,0)$ SQCD with gauge group $Sp(N_c)$ at the respective UV fixed points.
Magnetic quivers and Hasse diagrams for Higgs branches of rank $r$ 4d $mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs arising from $mathbb{Z}_{ell}$ $mathcal{S}$-fold constructions are discussed. The magnetic quivers are derived using three different methods: 1) Using clues li
We study the compactification of the 6d ${cal N}=(2,0)$ SCFT on the product of a Riemann surface with flux and a circle. On the one hand, this can be understood by first reducing on the Riemann surface, giving rise to 4d ${cal N}=1$ and ${cal N}=2$ c
For any gauge theory, there may be a subgroup of the gauge group which acts trivially on the matter content. While many physical observables are not sensitive to this fact, the identification of the precise gauge group becomes crucial when the magnet
We compute the prepotential for gauge theories descending from ${cal N}=4$ SYM via quiver projections and mass deformations. This accounts for gauge theories with product gauge groups and bifundamental matter. The case of massive orientifold gauge
We study half-BPS surface operators in four dimensional N=2 SU(N) gauge theories, and analyze their low-energy effective action on the four dimensional Coulomb branch using equivariant localization. We also study surface operators as coupled 2d/4d qu
