AdS/CFT Dual Pairs from M5-Branes on Riemann Surfaces
Ibrahima Bah, Christopher Beem, Nikolay Bobev +1
In this letter we describe an infinite family of new N=1 AdS_5/CFT_4 dual pairs which arise from M5-branes wrapping Riemann surfaces in Calabi-Yau threefolds. We use the relevant b…

New N=1 Superconformal Field Theories In Four Dimensions
Ibrahima Bah, Brian Wecht
We construct a large new family of four-dimensional N=1 superconformal field theories by coupling Gaiotto's T_N theories to N=1 vector multiplets. In particular, we consider theori…

The Conformal Sector of F-theory GUTs
Jonathan J. Heckman, Cumrun Vafa, Brian Wecht
D3-brane probes of exceptional Yukawa points in F-theory GUTs are natural hidden sectors for particle phenomenology. We find that coupling the probe to the MSSM yields a new class…
