We construct supergravity plus branes solutions, which we argue to be related to 4d N=1 SQCD with a quartic superpotential. The geometries depend on the ratio Nf/Nc which can be kept of order one, present a good singularity at the origin…
We present $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal $\mathsf{U}(1)$ duality-invariant models for an Abelian vector multiplet coupled to conformal supergravity. In a Minkowski background, such a nonlinear theory is expected to describe (the planar…
We present three types of non-conformal symmetries for a wide class of 2D dilaton-gravity models. For the particular CGHS, or string-inspired model, a linear combination of these symmetries is conformal and turns out to be the well-known…

Twisted holography relates the two-dimensional chiral algebra subsector of $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM to the B-model topological string theory on the deformed conifold $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$. We review the relevant aspects of the duality and its two…
Based on the superconformal algebra we construct a dual operator that introduces a grading among bosonic generators independent of the boson/fermion grading of the superalgebra. This dual operator allows us to construct an action that is…
We describe general methods for determining higher-form symmetry groups of known 5d and 6d superconformal field theories (SCFTs), and 6d little string theories (LSTs). The 6d theories can be described as supersymmetric gauge theories in 6d…

We examine the problem of constructing N=2 superconformal algebras out of N=1 non-semi-simple affine Lie algebras. These N=2 superconformal theories share the property that the super Virasoro central charge depends only on the dimension of…
We study the compactification of 4D $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM on $S^1$ from the viewpoint of the superconformal index. In the cases that the gauge group of the 4D SYM is $U(N)$ and $Usp(2N)$, the resulting 3D theory is believed to be the ABJM…

We explore the connection of anti-de-Sitter supergravity in six dimensions, based on the exceptional F(4) superalgebra, and its boundary superconformal singleton theory. The interpretation of these results in terms of a D4-D8 system and its…
We analyze the gauge structure of a recently proposed superconformal field theory in six dimensions. We find that this structure amounts to a weak Courant-Dorfman algebra, which, in turn, can be interpreted as a strong homotopy Lie algebra.…
