Orthosymplectic Chern–Simons matter theories: Global forms, dualities, and vacua
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: A magnetic quiver framework is proposed for studying maximal branches of 3d orthosymplectic Chern-Simons matter theories with \mathcal{N} ≥ 3 𝒩 ≥ 3 supersymmetry, arising from Type IIB brane setups with O3 planes. These branches are extracted via brane moves, yielding orthosymplectic \mathcal{N}=4 𝒩 = 4 magnetic quivers whose Coulomb branches match the moduli spaces of interest. Global gauge group data, inaccessible from brane configurations alone, are determined through supersymmetric indices, Hilbert series, and fugacity maps. The analysis is exploratory in nature and highlights several subtle features. In particular, magnetic quivers are proposed as predictions for the maximal branches in a range of examples.
