Abstract:
In exploring supersymmetric theories with eight supercharges, the Higgs branches present an intriguing window into strong coupling dynamics. Magnetic quivers serve as crucial tools for understanding these branches. Here, we introduce the decay and fission algorithm for unitary magnetic quivers. It efficiently derives complete phase diagrams (Hasse diagrams) through convex linear algebra. It allows magnetic quivers to undergo decay or fission, reflecting Higgs branch RG flows in the theory. Importantly, the algorithm generates magnetic quivers for the RG fixed points and simplifies the understanding of transverse slice geometry with no need for a list of minimal transitions. In contrast, the algorithm hints to the existence of a new minimal transition, whose geometry and physics need to be explored.
