New aspects of Argyres--Douglas theories and their dimensional reduction
Simone Giacomelli, Noppadol Mekareeya, Matteo Sacchi
Argyres-Douglas (AD) theories constitute an infinite class of superconformal field theories in four dimensions with a number of interesting properties. We study several new aspects…
5d and 4d SCFTs: Canonical Singularities, Trinions and S-Dualities
Cyril Closset, Simone Giacomelli, Sakura Schafer-Nameki +1
Canonical threefold singularities in M-theory and Type IIB string theory give rise to superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in 5d and 4d, respectively. In this paper, we study cano…
More on S-folds
Simone Giacomelli, Mario Martone, Yuji Tachikawa +1
We carry out a systematic study of 4d preserving S-folds of F-theory 7-branes and the worldvolume theories on D3-branes probing them. They consist of two infinite…
S-fold magnetic quivers
Antoine Bourget, Simone Giacomelli, Julius F. Grimminger +3
Magnetic quivers and Hasse diagrams for Higgs branches of rank 4d SCFTs arising from -fold constructions are discussed. The mag…
3d mirrors of the circle reduction of twisted theories of class
Emanuele Beratto, Simone Giacomelli, Noppadol Mekareeya +1
Mirror symmetry has proven to be a powerful tool to study several properties of higher dimensional superconformal field theories upon compactification to three dimensions. We propo…
New N=2 superconformal field theories from S-folds
Simone Giacomelli, Carlo Meneghelli, Wolfger Peelaers
We study the four-dimensional N=2 superconformal field theories that describe D3-branes probing the recently constructed N=2 S-folds in F-theory. We introduce a novel, infinite cla…
