The classification of one parameter local Coulomb branch solution of theories with eight supercharges is given by assuming that it is given by a genus $g$ fiberation of Riemann surfaces. The crucial point is the fact that certain conjugacy…

In this note we give a new construction of the N=2 superconformal algebra using currents of the affine superalgebra $\hat{sl}(2 | 1)$ and free bosonic fields, and also the N=4 superconformal algebra without central charge in terms of…

We study the $(1,0)$ six-dimensional SCFTs living on defects of non-geometric heterotic backgrounds (T-fects) preserving a $E_7\times E_8$ subgroup of $E_8\times E_8$. These configurations can be dualized explicitly to F-theory on elliptic…

We study the conditions under which 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) have multiplets housing operators that are chiral with respect to an $\mathcal{N}=1$ subalgebra. Our main focus is on the set of often-ignored and…

Using the chiral algebra bootstrap, we revisit the simplest Argyres-Douglas (AD) generalization of Argyres-Seiberg S-duality. We argue that the exotic AD superconformal field theory (SCFT), $T_{3,{3\over2}}$, emerging in this duality splits…

Chiral representations are the key in obtaining light fermions from some ultra-violet completed theories. The well-known chiral example is one family set of fifteen chiral fields in the standard model. We find a new chiral theory…

We show that four-dimensional superconformal algebras admit an infinite-dimensional derived enhancement after performing a holomorphic twist. The type of higher symmetry algebras we find are closely related to algebras studied by…

Chiral orbifold models are defined as gauge field theories with a finite gauge group $\Gamma$. We start with a conformal current algebra A associated with a connected compact Lie group G and a negative definite integral invariant bilinear…

We engineer a large new set of four-dimensional N=1 superconformal field theories by wrapping M5-branes on complex curves. We present new supersymmetric AdS_5 M-theory backgrounds which describe these fixed points at large N, and then…

We show that there are solitons with fractional fermion number in integrable $N$=2 supersymmetric models. We obtain the soliton S-matrix for the minimal, $N$=2 supersymmetric theory perturbed in the least relevant chiral primary field, the…

The chiral primary operators of the D=6 superconformal (2,0) theory corresponding to 14 scalars of N=4 D=7 supergravity are obtained by expanding the world volume action for the M5-brane around an AdS_7 x S^4 background. In the leading…

The spin-extended semiclassical chiral fermion (we call the S-model), which had been used to derive the twisted Lorentz symmetry of the "spin-enslaved" chiral fermion (we call the c-model) is equivalent to the latter in the free case,…

Conformal field theory (CFT) in two dimensions provide a rich source of subfactors. The fact that there are so many subfactors coming from CFT have led people to conjecture that perhaps all finite depth subfactors are related to CFT. In…

We propose a graph-theoretic description to determine and characterize 5d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) that arise as circle reductions of 6d $\mathcal{N} = (1,0)$ SCFTs. Each 5d SCFT is captured by a graph, called a Combined Fiber…

We analyze the superconformal theories (SCFTs) which arise in the low-energy limit of N=(4,4) supersymmetric gauge theories in two dimensions, primarily the Higgs branch SCFT. By a direct field theory analysis we find a continuum of…

We elucidate the correspondence between a particular class of superconformal field theories in six dimensions and homomorphisms from discrete subgroups of $SU(2)$ into $E_8$, as predicted from string dualities. We show how this match works…

We study the macroscopics of 2d $\mathcal{N}=(0,4)$ SCFTs arising from F-theory constructions. The class of 2d SCFTs we consider live on black strings which are obtained by wrapping D3-branes on a curve in the base of a possibly singular…

We provide a mathematically rigorous framework for supersymmetric fermion lattice systems. We construct supersymmetric C*-dynamics in terms of a nilpotent superderivation and a one-parameter group of automorphisms on the CAR-algebra. (We do…

We build a four-dimensional quaternion-parametrized conformal field theory (QCFT) using quaternion holomorphic functions as the generators of quaternionic conformal transformations. Taking the two-dimensional complex-parametrized conformal…

Light-front holographic quantum chromodynamics (LFHQCD) has been proposed as an approximation to QCD which is non-perturbative and at the same time analytically tractable. It can be derived from the holographic light-cone Hamiltonian and…
