Anomalies as Obstructions: from Dimensional Lifts to Swampland
Peng Cheng, Ruben Minasian, Stefan Theisen
We revisit the relation between the anomalies in four and six dimensions and the Chern-Simons couplings one dimension below. While the dimensional reduction of chiral theories is w…
M5-brane Sources, Holography, and Argyres-Douglas Theories
Ibrahima Bah, Federico Bonetti, Ruben Minasian +1
We initiate a study of the holographic duals of a class of four-dimensional superconformal field theories that are engineered by wrapping M5-branes on a sphere with…
Holographic Duals of Argyres-Douglas Theories
Ibrahima Bah, Federico Bonetti, Ruben Minasian +1
We present new solutions in 11d supergravity and identify them as the gravity duals of a class of 4d SCFTs of Argyres-Douglas type, engineered by a stack o…
Anomalies and Supersymmetry
Ruben Minasian, Ioannis Papadimitriou, Piljin Yi
We revisit quantum field theory anomalies, emphasizing the interplay with diffeomorphisms and supersymmetry. The Ward identities of the latter induce Noether currents of all contin…
Discrete and higher-form symmetries in SCFTs from wrapped M5-branes
Ibrahima Bah, Federico Bonetti, Ruben Minasian
We analyze topological mass terms of BF type arising in supersymmetric M-theory compactifications to . These describe spontaneously broken higher-form gauge symmetries in th…
On symmetries and dynamics of exotic supermultiplets
Ruben Minasian, Charles Strickland-Constable, Yi Zhang
Among the allowed representations of extended supersymmetry in six dimensions there are exotic chiral multiplets that, instead of a graviton, contain mixed-symmetry spin-2 tensor f…
