2d (0, 2) Gauge Theories from Branes: Recent Progress in Brane Brick Models

S Franco - arXiv preprint arXiv:2402.06993, 2024 - arxiv.org
We discuss the realization of $2 d $$(0, 2) $ gauge theories in terms of branes focusing on
Brane Brick Models, which are T-dual to D1-branes probing toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds. These …

degrees c∈{0, 1,⋯, m}, for some integer m≥ 0, with relations generated by a superpotential …

Kasteleyn operators from mirror symmetry

D Treumann, H Williams, E Zaslow - Selecta Mathematica, 2019 - Springer
Given a consistent bipartite graph Γ Γ in T^ 2 T 2 with a complex-valued edge weighting EE
we show the following two constructions are the same. The first is to form the Kasteleyn …

Tailoring a pair of pants

H Ruddat, I Zharkov - Advances in Mathematics, 2021 - Elsevier
We show how to deform the map Log:(C⁎) n→ R n such that the image of the complex pair
of pants P∘⊂(C⁎) n is the tropical hyperplane by showing an (ambient) isotopy between …

Graded quivers, generalized dimer models and toric geometry

S Franco, A Hasan - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 - Springer
