In this talk, I will focus on an infinite class of 3d N=4 gauge theories

which can be constructed from a certain set of ordered pairs of integer

partitions. These theories can be elegantly realised on brane intervals in

string theory.  I will give an elementary review on such brane constructions

and introduce to the audience a symmetry, known as mirror symmetry, which

exchanges two different phases (namely the Higgs and Coulomb phases) of such

theories.  Using mirror symmetry as a tool, I will discuss a certain

geometrical aspect of the vacuum moduli spaces of such theories in the

Coulomb phase. It turns out that there are certain infinite subclasses of

such spaces which are special and rather simple to study; they are complete intersections. I will mention some details and many interesting features of these spaces.
