Quotient Quiver Subtraction -- Classical Groups
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: Quotient quiver subtraction is a simple combinatorial prescription for gauging Coulomb branch isometry subgroups of 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ quiver gauge theories. This paper uses Type IIB brane constructions with $\mathrm{O5}$ planes to extend the prescription to gauge $\mathrm{Sp}(n),\;\mathrm{SO}(n)$, and $\mathrm{Sp}(n)$ coupled to a half-hypermultiplet Coulomb branch isometry subgroups of quivers with unitary gauge groups. The gauging procedure is no longer solely a subtraction -- additional steps change the graph type. The method is applied to provide alternative constructions of the Higgs branch of certain SCFTs in higher dimensions.
