We analyze the superconformal index of the  = 3 supersymmetric generalized orientifold theories recently proposed. In the large N limit we derive the index from the Kaluza–Klein modes in AdS 5 × S 5 / Z k , which are obtained from ones in AdS 5 × S 5 by a simple Z k projection. For the ordinary Z 2 orientifold case the agreement with the gauge theory calculation is explicitly confirmed, and for Z k ≥ 3 we perform a few consistency checks with known results for  = 3 theories. We also study…

N = 3 Poincar´e Supergravity in Four Dimensions

: In this paper we use the superconformal approach to derive the action for N = 3 Poincar´e supergravity in four space-time dimensions. We first study the coupling of N = 3 vector multiplets to…

Finite-N corrections to the superconformal index of S-fold theories

We study the superconformal index of S-fold theories by using the anti-de Sitter / conformal field theory correspondence. It is known that the index in the large-$N$ limit is reproduced as the…

Bootstrapping N = 3 superconformal theories

We initiate the bootstrap program for N = 3 superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in four dimensions. We consider the problem from two fronts: the protected subsector described by a 2d chiral…

We derive a formula for the BPS partition functions of arbitrary Sfold theories. We first generalize the known result for the N = 4 U(N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory to SO and Sp theories, and…

We analyze four-dimensional (4d) N = 1 superconformal field theories (SCFTs) obtained as deformations of 4d N = 2 SCFTs on S-folds by tilting 7-branes. Geometric compatibility with the structures of…

The N = 3 Weyl multiplet in four dimensions

: The main ingredient for local superconformal methods is the multiplet of gauge (cid:12)elds: the Weyl multiplet. We construct the transformations of this multiplet for N = 3, D = 4. The…

Exceptional N=3 theories

: We present a new construction of four dimensional N = 3 theories, given by M5 branes wrapping a T 2 in an M-theory U-fold background. The resulting setup generalizes the one used in the usual class…

Twin conformal field theories

A bstractSupersymmetric theories with the same bosonic content but different fermions, aka twins, were thought to exist only for supergravity. Here we show that pairs of super conformal field…

Exceptional moduli spaces for exceptional N = 3 theories

It is expected on general grounds that the moduli space of 4d N = 3 theories is of the form C3r/Γ, with r the rank and Γ a crystallographic complex reflection group (CCRG). As in the case of Lie…

N=6 Supergravity on Ad S5 and the SU(2,2/3) Superconformal Correspondence

It is argued that N=6 supergravity on Ad S5, with the gauge group SU(3)× U(1) corresponds, at the classical level, to a subsector of the ‘chiral’ primary operators of N=4 Yang–Mills theories. This…
