The question is about Higgs Branch (set of gauge inequivalent vacua parametrized by vevs of the hypermultiplets) of supersymmetric QFTs with 8 supercharges. (i.e. N=2 in d=4). Furthermore, even the conclusion you suggest is wrong. Assuming that "the gauge branch" is a non-standard name for the Coulomb Branch, and the "flavor branch" is a non-standard name for the Higgs branch, you argue that the two of them are always isomorphic. This is generically false. Overall, I am very perplexed about this answer. | |
