The gravity duals of N=2 superconformal field theories
read the original abstract
We study the gauge/gravity duality for theories with four dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetries. We consider the large class of generalized quiver field theories constructed recently by one of us (D.G.). These field theories can also be viewed as the IR limit of M5 branes wrapping a Riemann surface with punctures. We give a prescription for constructing the corresponding geometries and we discuss a few special cases in detail. There is a precise match for various quantities between the field theory and the M-theory description.

Covariant unification of holographic c-functions
A new covariant c-function is defined from extrinsic curvature of codimension-two bulk slices, unifying prior foliation-based definitions and exhibiting expected monotonic behavior in conformal, confining, and mixed-g...

5d Trinions and Tetraons
The authors construct 5d SCFT trinions and tetraons with D flavor symmetry via M-theory, producing non-linear quivers with instanton symmetry enhancement and ruling out E-type cases.

Consistent subsectors of maximal supergravity and wrapped M5-branes
New family of maximal 4D gauged supergravities with trombone gauging admits supersymmetric AdS vacua related to M5-branes and provides sufficient conditions for consistent subtruncations from groups not contained in t...

(Iso)spin from Isospin in Top-Down Holography
In top-down holographic models, monopole-induced diagonal symmetry causes dilaton fluctuations to mix SU(2) gauge and SO(3) isometry angular momenta, reproducing the Jackiw-Rebbi-Hasenfratz-'t Hooft spin-from-isospin ...

(Iso)spin from Isospin in Top-Down Holography
Supergravity backgrounds with monopoles on S2 exhibit diagonal symmetry upon uplift, causing SU(2)-SO(3) angular momentum mixing in fluctuations analogous to the Jackiw-Rebbi-Hasenfratz-'t Hooft effect.
