(0,4) brane box models (1811.09117v1)

Abstract: Two-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(0,4)$ supersymmetric quiver gauge theories are realized as D3-brane box configurations (two dimensional intervals) which are bounded by NS5-branes and intersect with D5-branes. The periodic brane configuration is mapped to D1-D5-D5$'$ brane system at orbifold singularity via T-duality. The matter content and interactions are encoded by the $\mathcal{N}=(0,4)$ quiver diagrams which are determined by the brane configurations. The Abelian gauge anomaly cancellation indicates the presence of Fermi multiplets at the NS-NS$'$ junction. We also discuss the brane construction of $\mathcal{N}=(0,4)$ supersymmetric boundary conditions in 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauge theories involving two-dimensional boundary degrees of freedom that cancel gauge anomaly.
