Abstract

We classify orbifold geometries which can be interpreted as moduli spaces of four-dimensional N3\mathcal{N}\geq 3 superconformal field theories up to rank 2 (complex dimension 6). The large majority of the geometries we find correspond to moduli spaces of known theories or discretely gauged version of them. Remarkably, we find 6 geometries which are not realized by any known theory, of which 3 have an N=2\mathcal{N}=2 Coulomb branch slice with a non-freely generated coordinate ring, suggesting the existence of new, exotic N=3\mathcal{N}=3 theories.
