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…
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…
