abstract

We apply c-extremization, whose proof we review in full detail, to study two-dimensional N=(0,2) superconformal field theories arising from the low-energy dynamics of D3-branes wrapped on Riemann surfaces and M5-branes wrapped on four-manifolds. We compute the exact central charges of these theories using anomalies and c-extremization. In all cases we also construct AdS_3 supergravity solutions of type IIB and eleven-dimensional supergravity, which are holographic duals to the field theories at large N, and exactly reproduce the central charges computed via c-extremization.

Spindle solutions, hyperscalars and smooth uplifts

hep-th · 2025-11-03 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

New AdS3 x Y7 solutions in type IIB supergravity with spindle bases and hyperscalars dual to 2d N=(0,2) SCFTs, featuring non-coprime spindle integers and vanishing hyperscalars at poles for non-vanishing U(1)B flux.

Local CFTs extremise $F$

hep-th · 2026-04-16 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Local CFTs lie at the extrema of the sphere free energy tilde F for nonlocal CFT lines, and maximize it when unitary.
