We construct in detail an N=1, D=4 superspace with the superconformal algebra as the structure group and discuss its relation to prior component approaches and the existing Poincar\'e superspaces.
We introduce a new wall-crossing formula which combines and generalizes the Cecotti-Vafa and Kontsevich-Soibelman formulas for supersymmetric 2d and 4d systems respectively. This 2d-4d wall-crossing formula governs the wall-crossing of BPS…
Possible short and semi-short representations for $\N=2$ and $\N=4$ superconformal symmetry in four dimensions are discussed. For $\N=4$ the well known short supermultiplets whose lowest dimension conformal primary operators correspond to…
Conformal field theory of the D1/D5 system and superstrings on $AdS_3\times S^3\times T^4$ is studied with particular attention to the world-sheet fields corresponding to the $T^4$ part. A solution to the spacetime N=4 superconformal…

We consider mixed four-point correlators of 1/2-BPS operators $\mathcal{O}_{k}$ in the maximally supersymmetric CFTs, i.e. the 3d $\mathcal{N}=8$, 4d $\mathcal{N}=4$, and 6d $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ theories. In arXiv:hep-th/0405180, Dolan,…
