5d and 4d SCFTs: canonical singularities, trinions and S-dualities

C Closset, S Giacomelli, S Schäfer-Nameki… - Journal of High Energy …, 2021 - Springer
A bstract Canonical threefold singularities in M-theory and Type IIB string theory give rise to
superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in 5d and 4d, respectively. In this paper, we study …

A slow review of the AGT correspondence

B Le Floch - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Starting with a gentle approach to the Alday–Gaiotto–Tachikawa (AGT) correspondence
from its 6d origin, these notes provide a wide (albeit shallow) survey of the literature on …

Comments on non-invertible symmetries in Argyres-Douglas theories

F Carta, S Giacomelli, N Mekareeya… - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We demonstrate the presence of non-invertible symmetries in an infinite family of
superconformal Argyres-Douglas theories. This class of theories arises from diagonal …

Global structures from the infrared

M Del Zotto, I García Etxebarria - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract Quantum field theories with identical local dynamics can admit different choices of
global structure, leading to different partition functions and spectra of extended operators …

Higher form symmetries of Argyres-Douglas theories

M Del Zotto, IG Etxebarria, SS Hosseini - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
We determine the structure of 1-form symmetries for all 4d\(\mathcal {N}\)= 2 theories that
have a geometric engineering in terms of type IIB string theory on isolated hypersurface …

Holographic duals of Argyres-Douglas theories

I Bah, F Bonetti, R Minasian, E Nardoni - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We propose the first explicit holographic duals for a class of superconformal field theories of
Argyres-Douglas type, which are inherently strongly coupled and provide a window onto …

M5-brane sources, holography, and Argyres-Douglas theories

I Bah, F Bonetti, R Minasian, E Nardoni - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We initiate a study of the holographic duals of a class of four-dimensional\(\mathcal
{N}\)= 2 superconformal field theories that are engineered by wrapping M5-branes on a …

Higgs branch, Coulomb branch, and Hall-Littlewood index

MJ Kang, C Lawrie, KH Lee, M Sacchi, J Song - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
The Higgs branch of 4D N= 2 superconformal field theories can be analyzed via the Hilbert
series of the Higgs branch or, in special cases, by computing the Hall-Littlewood index. For …

On 5d SCFTs and their BPS quivers. Part I: B-branes and brane tilings

C Closset, M Del Zotto - arXiv preprint arXiv:1912.13502, 2019 - arxiv.org
We study the spectrum of BPS particles on the Coulomb branch of five-dimensional
superconformal field theories (5d SCFTs) compactified on a circle. By engineering these …
