We construct M-theory curves associated with brane configurations of SU(N), SO(N) and $Sp(2N)$ 5d supersymmetric gauge theories compactified on a circle. From the curves we can account for all the existing different SU(N) field theories with $N_f \leq 2 N$. This is the correct bound for $N \geq 3$. We remark on the exceptional case SU(2). The bounds obtained for SO(N) and $Sp(2N)$ are $N_f\leq N-4$ and $N_f\leq 2N+4$, respectively.

  1. Dimers for Relativistic Toda Models with Reflective Boundaries

    hep-th 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Dimer graphs are constructed for relativistic Toda chains of listed Lie algebra types, and Seiberg-Witten curves of 5d N=1 pure SYM for group G are identified as spectral curves of the dual Toda chain for G^vee.
