Any spacetime containing a degenerate Killing horizon, such as an extremal black hole,
possesses a well-defined notion of a near-horizon geometry. We review such near-horizon …

A bstract Five-and four-dimensional superconformal field theories with eight supercharges
arise from canonical threefold singularities in M-theory and Type IIB string theory …

A bstract We derive the Symmetry Topological Field Theories (SymTFTs) for 3d
supersymmetric quantum field theories (QFTs) constructed in M-theory either via geometric …

Sasakian manifolds were first introduced in 1962. This book's main focus is on the intricate
relationship between Sasakian and Kähler geometries, especially when the Kähler structure …

We initiate a holographic model building approach tostrange metallic'phenomenology. Our
model couples a neutral Lifshitz-invariant quantum critical theory, dual to a bulk gravitational …

We study a variational problem whose critical point determines the Reeb vector field for a
Sasaki–Einstein manifold. This extends our previous work on Sasakian geometry by lifting …

We show that the Reeb vector, and hence in particular the volume, of a Sasaki–Einstein
metric on the base of a toric Calabi–Yau cone of complex dimension n may be computed by …

A bstract Many three-dimensional\(\mathcal {N}= 2\) SCFTs admit a universal partial
topological twist when placed on hyperbolic Riemann surfaces. We exploit this fact to derive …

Recently an infinite family of explicit Sasaki–Einstein metrics Y p, q on S 2× S 3 has been
discovered, where p and q are two coprime positive integers, with q< p. These give rise to a …

We describe an infinite family of quiver gauge theories that are AdS/CFT dual to a
corresponding class of explicit horizon Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. The quivers may be …
