The superconformal index of N=1 class S fixed points
Christopher Beem, Abhijit Gadde
We investigate the superconformal index of four-dimensional N=1 superconformal field theories that arise on coincident M5 branes wrapping a holomorphic curve in a local Calabi-Yau…
Holomorphic Blocks in Three Dimensions
Christopher Beem, Tudor Dimofte, Sara Pasquetti
We decompose sphere partition functions and indices of three-dimensional N=2 gauge theories into a sum of products involving a universal set of "holomorphic blocks". The blocks cou…
Four-Dimensional SCFTs from M5-Branes
Ibrahima Bah, Christopher Beem, Nikolay Bobev +1
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…
