A bstract Compactification of M-theory and of IIB string theory on threefold canonical
singularities gives rise to superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in 5d and 4d, respectively …

Within the framework of relative and absolute quantum field theories (QFTs), we present a
general formalism for understanding polarizations of the intermediate defect group and …

The center-flavor symmetry of a gauge theory specifies the global form of consistent gauge
and flavor bundle background field configurations. For 6D gauge theories which arise from a …

A bstract We demonstrate the presence of non-invertible symmetries in an infinite family of
superconformal Argyres-Douglas theories. This class of theories arises from diagonal …

A bstract We find closed-form expressions for the Schur indices of 4d\(\mathcal {N}\)= 2*
super Yang-Mills theory with unitary gauge groups for arbitrary ranks via the Fermi-gas …

The Higgs branch of 4D N= 2 superconformal field theories can be analyzed via the Hilbert
series of the Higgs branch or, in special cases, by computing the Hall-Littlewood index. For …

The Schur limit of the superconformal index of a four-dimensional N= 2 superconformal field
theory encodes rich physical information about the protected spectrum of the theory. For a …

4D N= 2 superconformal field theories and their invariants can be often enriched by nonlocal
Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield operators. In this paper we study the flavored Schur index …

Superconformal field theories (SCFTs) occupy a central role in the study of many aspects of
quantum field theory. In this white paper for the Snowmass process we give a brief overview …

A bstract We provide explicit holographic duals of M5-branes wrapped on a sphere with one
irregular puncture and one regular puncture of arbitrary type. The solutions generalise the …
