We explore further our recent generalization of the $\mathcal{N}=4$ superconformal Chern-Simons theories of Gaiotto and Witten. We find and construct explicitly theories of enhanced $\mathcal{N}=5$ or 6 supersymmetry, especially $\mathcal{N}=5$, $Sp(2M)\times O(N)$ and $\mathcal{N}=6$, $Sp(2M)\times O(2)$ theories. The $U(M)\times U(N)$ theory coincides with the $\mathcal{N}=6$ theory of Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena (ABJM). We argue that the $\mathcal{N}=5$ theory with $Sp(2N)\times O(2N)$ gauge group can be understood as an orientifolding of the ABJM model with $U(2N)\times U(2N)$ gauge group. We briefly discuss the Type IIB brane construction of the $\mathcal{N}=5$ theory and the geometry of the M-theory orbifold.

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0

    A magnetic quiver framework is introduced to extract maximal branches and global forms of 3d orthosymplectic Chern-Simons matter theories from brane configurations, with global data fixed via indices and Hilbert series.
