4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ S-folds

Abstract

We propose a generalization of S-folds to 4d N=2\mathcal{N}=2 theories. This construction is motivated by the classification of rank one 4d N=2\mathcal{N}=2 super-conformal field theories (SCFTs), which we reproduce from D3-branes probing a configuration of N=2\mathcal{N}=2 S-folds combined with 7-branes. The main advantage of this point of view is that realizes both Coulomb and Higgs branch flows and allows for a straight forward generalization to higher rank theories.
