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…

Searching for the simplest non-abelian 2d gauge theory with $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ supersymmetry and non-trivial IR physics, we propose a new duality for $SU(2)$ SQCD with $N_f = 4$ chiral flavors. The chiral algebra of this theory is found to…

We find solutions of the six-dimensional maximal supergravity by adding a perturbation of vector fields to the solution AdS${}_3$ $\times$ S${}^3$. For certain perturbations the solution represents a dual description of an ${\cal N}=(4,0)$…
