Abstract: Coulomb branches of a set of $3dmathcalN=4$ supersymmetric gauge theories are closures of nilpotent orbits of the algebra $mathfrakso(n)$. From the point of view of string theory, these quantum field theories can be understood as effective gauge theories describing the low energy dynamics of a brane configuration with the presence of orientifold planes. The presence of the orientifold planes raises the question to whether the orthogonal factors of a the gauge group are indeed orthogonal $O(N)$ or special orthogonal $SO(N)$. In order to investigate this problem, we compute the Hilbert series for the Coulomb branch of $T^{s}igma(SO(n{)}^{v}ee)$ theories, utilizing the monopole formula. The results for all nilpotent orbits from $mathfrakso(3)$ to $mathfrakso(10)$ which are special and normal are presented. A new relationship between the choice of $SO/O(N)$ factors in the gauge group and the Lusztig's Canonical Quotient of the corresponding nilpotent orbit is observed. We also provide a new way of projecting several magnetic lattices of different $SO(N)$ gauge group factors by the simultaneous action of a $mathbb{Z}_2$ group.
