Towards classification of 5d SCFTs: single gauge node

P Jefferson, HC Kim, C Vafa, G Zafrir - SciPost Physics, 2023 - scipost.org
We propose a number of apparently equivalent criteria necessary for the consistency of a 5d
SCFT in its Coulomb phase and use these criteria to classify 5d SCFTs arising from a gauge …

5d SCFTs from decoupling and gluing

Tropical geometry and five dimensional Higgs branches at infinite coupling

S Cabrera, A Hanany, F Yagi - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 - Springer
A bstract Superconformal five dimensional theories have a rich structure of phases and
brane webs play a crucial role in studying their properties. This paper is devoted to the study …

Five-dimensional SCFTs and gauge theory phases: an M-theory/type IIA perspective
