Abstract Six-dimensional (6D) superconformal field theories (SCFTs) occupy a central place
in the study of quantum field theories encountered in high energy theory. This article reviews …

A bstract It is well-known that six-dimensional superconformal field theories can be exploited
to unravel interesting features of lower-dimensional theories obtained via compactifications …

Starting with a gentle approach to the Alday–Gaiotto–Tachikawa (AGT) correspondence
from its 6d origin, these notes provide a wide (albeit shallow) survey of the literature on …

A bstract In this work we study particular TQFTs in three dimensions, known as Symmetry
Topological Field Theories (or SymTFTs), to identify line defects of two-dimensional CFTs …

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 holographic method for implementing a particular supersymmetry-preserving deformation
to 4d SCFTs is presented. At the heart of the procedure is a soliton solution of minimal d= 5 …

A bstract We study the full moduli space of vacua of 6d worldvolume SCFTs on M5 branes
probing an A-type singularity, focusing on the geometric incarnation of the discrete gauging …

A bstract We study six dimensional supergravity theories with superconformal sectors
(SCFTs). Instances of such theories can be engineered using type IIB strings, or more …

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 …

We study compactifications of the 6d E‐string theory, the theory of a small E8 instanton, to
four dimensions. In particular we identify N= 1 field theories in four dimensions …
