Warped conformal field theories (WCFTs) are two-dimensional non-relativistic systems, with a chiral scaling and shift symmetry. We present a detailed derivation of the near-extremal limit for their torus partition function. This limit…

We study various orientifold projections of 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ toric gauge theories, associated with CY singularities known as $L^{a,b,a}/\mathbb{Z}_2$, with $a+b$ even. We obtain superconformal chiral theories that have the same central…

We classify all possible charge lattices and 1-form symmetry groups for $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs with characteristic dimension $\varkappa \neq \{1,2\}$. For rank-$r$ SCFTs that are not stacks of lower rank theories the order of the 1-form…

We propose bulk 3D N=4 rank-0 superconformal field theories, which are related to 2D N=1 supersymmetric minimal models, SM(2, ...) and SM(3, ...), via recently discovered non-unitary bulk-boundary correspondence. The correspondence relates…

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 (1+1)D unitary bosonic rational conformal field theory (RCFT) may be organized according to its genus, a tuple $(c,\mathscr{C})$ consisting of its central charge $c$ and a unitary modular tensor category $\mathscr{C}$ which describes the…

We investigate the recently proposed Kerr/CFT correspondence in the context of heterotic string theory. The Kerr/CFT correspondence states that the near-horizon states of an extremal four (or higher) dimensional black hole could be…

We use the theory of topological modular forms to constrain bosonic holomorphic CFTs, which can be viewed as $(0,1)$ SCFTs with trivial right-moving supersymmetric sector. A conjecture by Segal, Stolz and Teichner requires the constant term…

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 $\mathcal{D}_p(G)$…

There are two major ways of constructing 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs): the first one is putting a 6d $(2,0)$ theory on a punctured Riemann surface (class-S theory), and the second one is putting type IIB string…
