چکیده
Superconformal field theory with $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetry in four dimensional spacetime provides a prime playground to study strongly coupled phenomena quantum theory. Its rigid structure ensures valuable analytic control over non-perturbative effects, yet the is still flexible enough incorporate large landscape of systems. Here we aim offer guidebook fundamental features 4d superconformal theories and basic tools construct them string/M-/F-theory. The content based on series lectures at Quantum Field Theories Geometry School (https://sites.google.com/view/qftandgeometrysummerschool/home) July 2020.

The Hitchhikers' Guide to Google
The web is big. Really big. This is good because the Web now encompasses the entire history, culture, science, and achievements of the human race, not to mention JPEGs of every romantically eligible member of that race under the age of 35. This is bad because it is now too big to find anything. The ‘Hitch-Hikers Guide to Google’ is a collection of patterns that will be your guide through the In...
متن کاملN=1,2 4d Superconformal Field Theories and Supergravity in Ads 5
We consider D3 branes world-volume theories sustaining N = 1, 2 superconformal field theories. Under the assumption that these theories are dual to N = 2, 4 supergravities in AdS 5 , we explore the general structure of the latter and discuss some issues when comparing the bulk theory to the boundary singleton theory.
متن کاملSuperconformal Field Theories for Compact G2 Manifolds
We present the construction of exactly solvable superconformal field theories describing Type II string models compactified on compact G2 manifolds. These models are defined by anti-holomorphic quotients of the form (CY×S)/ZZ2, where we realize the Calabi-Yau as a Gepner model. In the superconformal field theory the ZZ2 acts as charge conjugation implying that the representation theory of a W(2...
متن کاملSuperconformal Field Theories and their Supergravity Description
In this note we construct a new class of superconformal field theories as mass deformed N = 4 super Yang-Mills theories. We will argue that these theories correspond to the fixed points which were recently found [1] studying the deformations of the dual IIB string theory on AdS5 × S . ∗[email protected] ∗2 [email protected] ∗[email protected]
متن کاملProbe D–branes in Superconformal Field Theories
The open/closed string descriptions of a system of Nc parallel D3–branes in flat space decouple in the large Nc limit, this leading to the duality between N = 4 supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory and type IIB string theory in AdS5 × S [1]. If, instead, the transverse six dimensional flat space background is replaced by a Calabi–Yau threefold, Y , the amount of preserved supercharges reduces to on...
