Five-dimensional SCFTs and gauge theory phases: an M-theory/type IIA perspective
We revisit the correspondence between Calabi-Yau (CY) threefold isolated singularities \mathbf{X} <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mml:mstyle mathvariant="bold"><mml:mi>๐</mml:mi></mml:mstyle></mml:math> and five-dimensional superconformal field theories (SCFTs), which arise at low energy in M-theory on the space-time transverse to \mathbf{X} <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mml:mstyle mathvariant="bold"><mml:mi>๐</mml:mi></mml:mstyle></mml:math> . Focussing on the case of toric CY singularities, we analyze the โฆ
