چکیده
We discuss the large N limit of the (2, 0) field theory in six dimensions. We do this by assuming the validity of Maldacena’s conjecture of the correspondence between large N gauge theories and supergravity backgrounds, here AdS7 × S4. We review the spectrum of the supergravity theory and compute the spectrum of primary operators of the conformal algebra of arbitrary spin.

Stochastic evolutions in superspace and superconformal field theory
Some stochastic evolutions of conformal maps can be described by SLE and may be linked to conformal field theory via stochastic differential equations and singular vectors in highest-weight modules of the Virasoro algebra. Here we discuss how this may be extended to superconformal maps of N = 1 superspace with links to superconformal field theory and singular vectors of the N = 1 superconformal...
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 کاملAn Index for Non-relativistic Superconformal Field Theories
We study the highest-weight representation ofN = 2 supersymmetric Schrödinger algebra which appears in non-relativistic superconformal field theories in (1+2) dimension. We define the index for the non-relativistic superconformal field theories and study its properties. As a concrete example, we compute the index for the nonrelativistic limit of N = 6 superconformal Chern-Simons-matter theory r...
متن کاملFour-Manifold Geography and Superconformal Symmetry
A compact oriented 4-manifold is defined to be of “superconformal simple type” if certain polynomials in the basic classes (constructed using the Seiberg-Witten invariants) vanish identically. We show that all known 4-manifolds of b+2 > 1 are of superconformal simple type, and that the numerical invariants of 4-manifolds of superconformal simple type satisfy a generalization of the Noether ineq...

We study the logarithmic superconformal field theories. Explicitly, the two–point functions of N = 1 logarithmic superconformal field theories (LSCFT) when the Jordan blocks are two (or more) dimensional, and when there are one (or more) Jordan block(s) have been obtained. Using the well known three-point fuctions of N = 1 superconformal field theory (SCFT), three–point functions of N = 1 LSCFT...
متن کامل4D and 2D superconformal index with surface operator
We study the superconformal index of the N = 4 super-Yang-Milles theory on S 3 × S1 with the half BPS superconformal surface operator (defect) inserted at the great circle of S3. The half BPS superconformal surface operators preserve the same supersymmetry as well as the symmetry of the chemical potential used in the definition of the superconformal index, so the structure and the parameterizat...
