A bstractWe study 4D N$$\mathcal{N}$$ = 2 superconformal field theories that arise from the compactification of 6D N$$\mathcal{N}$$ = (2, 0) theories of type DN on a Riemann surface, in the presence of punctures twisted by a ℤ2 outer automorphism. Unlike the untwisted case, the family of SCFTs is in general parametrized, not by ℳg,n, but by a branched cover thereof. The classification of these SCFTs is carried out explicitly in the case of the D4 theory, in terms of three-punctured spheres…

### S-duality and 2d topological QFT

We study the superconformal index for the class of $$\mathcal{N} = 2$$ 4d superconformal field theories recently introduced by Gaiotto [1]. These theories are defined by compactifying the (2, 0) 6d

A bstractWe consider the superconformal index of class $\mathcal{S}$ theories of type D, which arise by compactification of the (2, 0) Dn theories on a punctured Riemann surface $\mathcal{C}$. We

• Mathematics

We consider the compactification of the 6d $$\mathcal{N} = \left( {2,0} \right)$$ theories, or equivalently of M-theory 5-branes, on a punctured Riemann surface times a circle. This gives rise to

• Mathematics
• 2010
We describe a procedure for classifying $\mathcal{N} = 2$ superconformal theories of the type introduced by Davide Gaiotto. Any curve, C, on which the 6D AN−1 SCFT is compactified, can be
