Atomic classification of 6D SCFTs

JJ Heckman, DR Morrison, T Rudelius… - Fortschritte der …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
We use F‐theory to classify possibly all six‐dimensional superconformal field theories
(SCFTs). This involves a two step process: We first classify all possible tensor branches …

On the Defect Group of a 6D SCFT

M Del Zotto, JJ Heckman, DS Park… - Letters in Mathematical …, 2016 - Springer
We use the F-theory realization of 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) to study the
corresponding spectrum of stringlike, ie, surface defects. On the tensor branch, all of the …

On the classification of 6D SCFTs and generalized ADE orbifolds

JJ Heckman, DR Morrison, C Vafa - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer
A bstract We study (1, 0) and (2, 0) 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) that can be
constructed in F-theory. Quite surprisingly, all of them involve an orbifold singularity ℂ 2/Γ …

6D SCFTs and phases of 5D theories

M Del Zotto, JJ Heckman, DR Morrison - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract Starting from 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) realized via F-theory, we
show how reduction on a circle leads to a uniform perspective on the phase structure of the …

New = 2 superconformal field theories from -folds

S Giacomelli, C Meneghelli, W Peelaers - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We study the four-dimensional\(\mathcal {N}\)= 2 superconformal field theories that
describe D3-branes probing the recently constructed\(\mathcal {N}\)= 2\(\mathcal {S}\)-folds …

6D SCFTs and gravity

M Del Zotto, JJ Heckman, DR Morrison… - Journal of High Energy …, 2015 - Springer
A bstract We study how to couple a 6D superconformal field theory (SCFT) to gravity. In F-
theory, the models in question are obtained working on the supersymmetric …

6d string chains

A Gadde, B Haghighat, J Kim, S Kim, G Lockhart… - Journal of High Energy …, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We consider bound states of strings which arise in 6d (1, 0) SCFTs that are realized
in F-theory in terms of linear chains of spheres with negative self-intersections 1, 2, and 4 …

On exceptional instanton strings

M Del Zotto, G Lockhart - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract According to a recent classification of 6d (1, 0) theories within F-theory there are
only six “pure” 6d gauge theories which have a UV superconformal fixed point. The …

6d conformal matter

M Del Zotto, JJ Heckman, A Tomasiello… - Journal of High Energy …, 2015 - Springer
A bstract A single M5-brane probing G, an ADE-type singularity, leads to a system which has
G× G global symmetry and can be viewed as “bifundamental”(G, G) matter. For the AN …

Infinitely many 4D SCFTs with and beyond

MJ Kang, C Lawrie, J Song - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We study a set of four-dimensional N= 2 superconformal field theories (SCFTs) Γ^(G)
labeled by a pair of simply laced Lie groups Γ and G. They are constructed out of gauging a …
