Evidence for a 5d F-theorem
Martin Fluder, Christoph F. Uhlemann
Renormalization group flows are studied between 5d SCFTs engineered by 5-brane webs with large numbers of external 5-branes. A general expression for the free energy on $S^…
Proving the 6d Cardy Formula and Matching Global Gravitational Anomalies
Chi-Ming Chang, Martin Fluder, Ying-Hsuan Lin +1
A Cardy formula for 6d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) conjectured by Di Pietro and Komargodski in [1] governs the universal behavior of the supersymmetric partition function…
3d N=4 Bootstrap and Mirror Symmetry
Chi-Ming Chang, Martin Fluder, Ying-Hsuan Lin +2
We investigate the non-BPS realm of 3d superconformal field theory by uniting the non-perturbative methods of the conformal bootstrap and supersymmetric localization…
An infrared bootstrap of the Schur index with surface defects
Martin Fluder, Pietro Longhi
The infrared formula relates the Schur index of a 4d theory to its wall-crossing invariant, a.k.a. BPS monodromy. A further extension of this formula, proposed by C…
Chiral Algebra, Localization, Modularity, Surface defects, And All That
Mykola Dedushenko, Martin Fluder
We study the 2D vertex operator algebra (VOA) construction in 4D superconformal field theories (SCFT) on , focusing both on old puzzles as well as n…
Black hole microstate counting in Type IIB from 5d SCFTs
Martin Fluder, Seyed Morteza Hosseini, Christoph F. Uhlemann
We use recently established AdS/CFT dualities to count the microstates of magnetically charged AdS black holes in Type IIB. The near-horizon limit i…
Precision test of AdS/CFT in Type IIB
Martin Fluder, Christoph F. Uhlemann
Large classes of warped AdS solutions were constructed recently in Type IIB supergravity, and identified as holographic duals for five-dimensional superconformal field theories…
Romans Supergravity from Five-Dimensional Holograms
Chi-Ming Chang, Martin Fluder, Ying-Hsuan Lin +1
We study five-dimensional superconformal field theories and their holographic dual, matter-coupled Romans supergravity. On the one hand, some recently derived formulae allow us to…
4d /2d Yang-Mills Duality in Holography
Martin Fluder
We study the supergravity dual of four-dimensional superconformal field theories arising from wrapping M5-branes on a Kähler two-cycle inside a Calabi-Yau threefo…

Martin Fluder
In this paper, we initiate the study of holographic renormalization group flows acting on the metric of four-manifolds. In particular, we derive a set of equations which govern the…
Spheres, Charges, Instantons, and Bootstrap: A Five-Dimensional Odyssey
Chi-Ming Chang, Martin Fluder, Ying-Hsuan Lin +1
We combine supersymmetric localization and the conformal bootstrap to study five-dimensional superconformal field theories. To begin, we classify the admissible counter-terms and d…
Four-dimensional Lens Space Index from Two-dimensional Chiral Algebra
Martin Fluder, Jaewon Song
We study the supersymmetric partition function on , or the lens space index of four-dimensional superconformal field theories and their connecti…

Martin Fluder, James Sparks
We study a system of N D2-branes probing a generic Calabi-Yau three-fold singularity in the presence of a non-zero quantized Romans mass n. We argue that the low-energy effective N…

We study the matrix model for N M2-branes wrapping a Lens space L(p,1) = S^3/Z_p. This arises from localization of the partition function of the ABJM theory, and has some novel fea…
