Double Handled Brane Tilings

TL;DR

This paper classifies genus 2 brane tilings extending known torus tilings, identifying their moduli spaces and relating different theories via the Higgs mechanism, thereby expanding the understanding of 4d N=1 superconformal field theories.

Contribution

It provides the first classification of genus 2 brane tilings and explores their moduli spaces, extending the known landscape of superconformal field theories.

Findings

16 distinct genus 2 brane tilings identified

Moduli spaces of these tilings characterized

Relations between theories established via Higgs mechanism

Abstract

We classify the first few brane tilings on a genus 2 Riemann surface and identify their toric Calabi-Yau moduli spaces. These brane tilings are extensions of tilings on the 2-torus, which represent one of the largest known classes of 4d N=1 superconformal field theories for D3-branes. The classification consists of 16 distinct genus 2 brane tilings with up to 8 quiver fields and 4 superpotential terms. The Higgs mechanism is used to relate the different theories.
