Tρσ(G) theories and their Hilbert series

Abstract

Abstract: We give an explicit formula for the Higgs and Coulomb branch Hilbert series for the class of 3d (Formula presented.) superconformal gauge theories Tρσ(G) corresponding to a set of D3 branes ending on NS5 and D5-branes, with or without O3 planes. Here G is a classical group, σ is a partition of G and ρ a partition of the dual group G∨. In deriving such a formula we make use of the recently discovered formula for the Hilbert series of the quantum Coulomb branch of (Formula presented.) superconformal theories. The result can be expressed in terms of a generalization of a class of symmetric functions, the Hall-Littlewood polynomials, and can be interpreted in mathematical language in terms of localization. We mainly consider the case G = SU(N) but some interesting results are also given for orthogonal and symplectic groups.
