The Geometry of Decoupling Fields

Ibrahima Bah, Federico Bonetti, Enoch Leung +1

We consider 4d field theories obtained by reducing the 6d (1,0) SCFT of M5-branes probing a singularity on a Riemann surface with fluxes. We follow tw…

M5-branes Probing Flux Backgrounds

Ibrahima Bah, Federico Bonetti, Enoch Leung +1

We analyze the global symmetries and anomalies of 4d field theories that arise from a stack of M5-branes probing a class of flux backgrounds. These background…

Bubble Bag End: A Bubbly Resolution of Curvature Singularity

Ibrahima Bah, Pierre Heidmann

We construct a family of smooth charged bubbling solitons in T, four-dimensional Minkowski with a two-torus. The solitons are characterized by a degenerati…

Smooth Bubbling Geometries Without Supersymmetry

Ibrahima Bah, Pierre Heidmann

We construct the first smooth bubbling geometries using the Weyl formalism. The solutions are obtained from Einstein theory coupled to a two-form gauge field in six dimensions with…

M5-brane Sources, Holography, and Argyres-Douglas Theories

Ibrahima Bah, Federico Bonetti, Ruben Minasian +1

We initiate a study of the holographic duals of a class of four-dimensional superconformal field theories that are engineered by wrapping M5-branes on a sphere with…

Holographic Duals of Argyres-Douglas Theories

Ibrahima Bah, Federico Bonetti, Ruben Minasian +1

We present new solutions in 11d supergravity and identify them as the gravity duals of a class of 4d SCFTs of Argyres-Douglas type, engineered by a stack o…

Gravitational Footprints of Black Holes and Their Microstate Geometries

Ibrahima Bah, Iosif Bena, Pierre Heidmann +2

We construct a family of non-supersymmetric extremal black holes and their horizonless microstate geometries in four dimensions. The black holes can have finite angular momentum an…

Topological Stars, Black holes and Generalized Charged Weyl Solutions

Ibrahima Bah, Pierre Heidmann

We construct smooth static bubble solutions, denoted as topological stars, in five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theories which are asymptotic to S. The…
