S-fold magnetic quivers

TL;DR

This paper explores magnetic quivers and Higgs branch structures of 4d N=2 SCFTs from Z_ell S-fold constructions, introducing three methods for deriving magnetic quivers and revealing a richer landscape of SCFTs.

Contribution

It presents three novel methods to derive magnetic quivers for S-fold 4d N=2 SCFTs, connecting 6d theories, brane systems, and folding procedures.

Findings

Multiple magnetic quivers are derived using different methods.

The choice of ungauging scheme affects the moduli space structure.

A larger set of 4d SCFTs than previously known is suggested.

Abstract

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 like dimension, global symmetry, and the folding parameter $\ell$ to guess the magnetic quiver. 2) From 6d $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ SCFTs as UV completions of 5d marginal theories, and specific FI deformations on their magnetic quiver, which is further folded by $\mathbb{Z}_{\ell}$. 3) From T-duality of Type IIA brane systems of 6d $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ SCFTs and explicit mass deformation of the resulting brane web followed by $\mathbb{Z}_{\ell}$ folding. A choice of the ungauging scheme, either on a long node or on a short node, yields two different moduli spaces related by an orbifold action, thus suggesting a larger set of SCFTs in four dimensions than previously expected.
