Title: 4d SCFTs from negative-degree line bundles

Abstract

We compose 4d $$\mathcal{N}$$ =1 quantum field theories by compactifying the (2,0) theories on a Riemann surface with genus g and n punctures, where the normal bundle decomposes into a sum of two line bundles with possibly negative degrees p and q. Not long ago, the only available field-theoretic constructions required the line bundle degrees to be nonnegative, although supergravity solutions were constructed in the literature for the zero-puncture case for all p and q. Here, we provide field-theoretic constructions and computations of the central charges of 4d $$\mathcal{N}$$=1 SCFTs that are the IR limit of M5-branes wrapping a surface with general p or q negative, for general genus g and number of maximal punctures n.

Structure of anomalies of 4d SCFTs from M5-branes, and anomaly inflow

Journal Article Bah, Ibrahima ; Nardoni, Emily - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We study the ’t Hooft anomalies of four-dimensional superconformal field theories that arise from M5-branes wrapped on a punctured Riemann surface. In general there are two independent contributions to the anomalies. There is a bulk term obtained by integrating the anomaly polynomial of the world-volume theory on the M5-branes over the Riemann surface; this contribution knows about the punctures only through its dependence on the Euler characteristic of the surface. The second set of contributions comes from local data at the punctures; these terms are independent from the bulk data of the surface. Using anomaly inflow in M-theory, we describemore »« less

Quiver tails and $$\mathcal{N}=1 $$ SCFTs from M5-branes

Journal Article Agarwal, Prarit ; Bah, Ibrahima ; Maruyoshi, Kazunobu ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We study a class of four-dimensional N = 1 superconformal field theories obtained by wrapping M5-branes on a Riemann surface with punctures. We identify fourdimensional UV descriptions of the SCFTs corresponding to curves with a class of punctures. The quiver tails appearing in these UV descriptions differ significantly from their N = 2 counterpart. We find a new type of object that we call the ‘Fan’. We show how to construct new N = 1 superconformal theories using the Fan. Various dual descriptions for these SCFTs can be identified with different colored pair-of-pants decompositions. For example, we find an Nmore »« less

AdS5 solutions from M5-branes on Riemann surface and D6-branes sources

Journal Article Bah, Ibrahima - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

Here, we describe the gravity duals of four-dimensional N = 1 superconformal field theories obtained by wrapping M5-branes on a punctured Riemann surface. The internal geometry, normal to the AdS 5 factor, generically preserves two U(1)s, with generators (J⁺, J^–), that are fibered over the Riemann surface. The metric is governed by a single potential that satisfies a version of the Monge-Ampère equation. The spectrum of N = 1 punctures is given by the set of supersymmetric sources of the potential that are localized on the Riemann surface and lead to regular metrics near a puncture. We use this systemmore »« less
