Higher-Derivative Supergravity, Wrapped M5-branes, and Theories of Class $\mathcal{R}$

Nikolay Bobev, Anthony M. Charles, Dongmin Gang +2

We study the interplay between four-derivative 4d gauged supergravity, holography, wrapped M5-branes, and theories of class $\mathcal{R}$. Using results from Chern-Simons theory on…
