Abstract
We consider configurations of Neveu-Schwarz fivebranes, Dirichlet fourbranes and an orientifold sixplane in type IIA string theory. Upon lifting the configuration to M-theory and proposing a description of how to include the effects of the orientifold sixplane we derive the curves describing the Coulomb branch of N = 2 gauge theories with orthogonal and symplectic gauge groups, product gauge groups of the form ⊗ i SU(k i) ⋇ SO(N) and ⊗ i SU(k i) ⋇ Sp (N) . We also propose new curves describing theories with unitary gauge groups and matter in the symmetric or antisymmetric representation.
