We study a rich set of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) with both central charges identical: $a = c$. We construct them via the diagonal $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauging of the flavor symmetry $G$ of a…
We present evidence that for each ADE Lie group G there is an infinite tower of 4D N=2 SCFTs, which we label as D(G,s) (with s a positive integer), having (at least) flavor symmetry G. For G=SU(2), D(SU(2),s) coincides with the…

In this paper we present a beautifully consistent web of evidence for the existence of interacting 4d rank-1 $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs obtained from gauging discrete subgroups of global symmetries of other existing 4d rank-1 $\mathcal{N}=2$…
We study a set of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) $\widehat{\Gamma}(G)$ labeled by a pair of simply-laced Lie groups $\Gamma$ and $G$. They are constructed out of gauging a number of $\mathcal{D}_p(G)$…
Detailed studies of four dimensional N=2 superconformal field theories (SCFT) defined by isolated complete intersection singularities are performed: we compute the Coulomb branch spectrum, Seiberg-Witten solutions and central charges. Most…
We continue to investigate the $\mathcal{N}=1$ deformations of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) labeled by a nilpotent element of the flavor symmetry. This triggers a renormalization group (RG) flow to…
We discover a four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric field theory that is dual to the $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory with gauge group $SU(2n+1)$ for each $n$. The dual theory is constructed through the diagonal gauging of…
A solution to the infinite coupling problem for N=2 conformal supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions is presented. The infinitely-coupled theories are argued to be interacting superconformal field theories (SCFTs) with weakly…
Making use of the exact solutions of the $N=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories we construct new classes of superconformal field theories (SCFTs) by fine-tuning the moduli parameters and bringing the theories to critical points. In the case of…
We study the generalization of S-duality and Argyres-Seiberg duality for a large class of N=2 superconformal gauge theories. We identify a family of strongly interacting SCFTs and use them as building blocks for generalized superconformal…
We generalize S-duality to N=2 superconformal field theories (SCFTs) with Coulomb branch operators of non-integer scaling dimension. As simple examples, we find minimal generalizations of the S-dualities discovered in SU(2) gauge theory…

We extend the investigation of the recently introduced class ${\cal S}_k$ of 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ SCFTs, by considering a large family of quiver gauge theories within it, which we denote $\mathcal{S}^1_k$. These theories admit a realization…
We list 4d interacting $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFT with minimal flavor central charge from the theory space constructed using 6d $(2,0)$ theory. For $ADE$ and $C_N$ flavor groups, our theory saturates the bound found using bootstrap method, but…
