Non minimal D-type conformal matter compactified on three punctured spheres


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We study compactifications of $6d$ non minimal $(D_{p+3},D_{p+3})$ type conformal matter. These can be described by $N$ M5-branes probing a $D_{p+3}$-type singularity. We derive $4d$ Lagrangians corresponding to compactifications of such $6d$ SCFTs on three punctured spheres (trinions) with two maximal punctures and one minimal puncture. The trinion models are described by simple $mathcal{N}=1$ quivers with $SU(2N)$ gauge nodes. We derive the trinion Lagrangians using RG flows between the aforementioned $6d$ SCFTs with different values of $p$ and their relations to matching RG flows in their compactifications to $4d$. The suggested trinions are shown to reduce to known models in the minimal case of $N=1$. Additional checks are made to show the new minimal punctures uphold the expected S-duality between models in which we exchange two such punctures. We also show that closing the new minimal puncture leads to expected flux tube models.
