Minimally unbalanced quivers

Description
We develop a classification of minimally unbalanced 3d quiver gauge theories. These gauge theories are important because the isometry group G of their Coulomb branch contains a single factor, which is either a classical or an exceptional Lie group. Concurrently, this provides a classification of hyperkähler cones with isometry group G which are obtainable by Coulomb branch constructions. HyperKähler cones such as Coulomb branches of 3d quivers are indispensable tools for describing Higgs branches of different theories in various dimensions. In particular, they are used to describe Higgs branches of 5d SQCD with gauge group SU(Nc) and 6d SQCD with gauge group Sp(Nc) at the respective UV fixed points.
