The Higgs Branch of 6d (1,0) SCFTs & LSTs with DE-type SUSY Enhancement
The Higgs Branch of 6d (1,0) SCFTs & LSTs with DE-type SUSY Enhancement
We detail the Higgs branches of 6d $(1,0)$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) and little string theories (LSTs) that exhibit supersymmetry-enhancing Higgs branch renormalization group flows to the 6d $(2,0)$ SCFTs and LSTs of type DE. Generically, such theories are geometrically engineered in F-theory via a configuration of $(-2)$-curves, arranged in …
