    Equivariant localization for AdS/CFT

    We explain how equivariant localization may be applied to AdS/CFT to compute various BPS observables in gravity, such as central charges and conformal dimensions of chiral primary operators, without solving th...

    dS2 supergravity

    We construct two-dimensional supergravity theories endowed with a positive cosmological constant, that admit de Sitter vacua. We consider the cases of ...

    Supersymmetric phases of AdS4/CFT3

    We exhibit an infinite family of supersymmetric phases in the three-dimensional ABJM superconformal field theory and the dual asymptotically AdS4 gravity. They are interpreted as partially deconfined phases which...

    Wrapped M5-branes and complex saddle points

    We study the effects of the introduction of a ϑ term in minimal gauged supergravity in four dimensions. We show why this term is not present in supergravity duals of field theories arising on wrapped M2-branes, b...

    Instantons, symmetries and anomalies in five dimensions

    All five-dimensional non-abelian gauge theories have a U(1)I global symmetry associated with instantonic particles. We describe an obstruction to coupling U(1)I to a classical background gauge field that occurs w...

    Evidence for a non-supersymmetric 5d CFT from deformations of 5d SU(2) SYM

    We study supersymmetry breaking deformations of the N \( \mathcal{N} \) = 1 5d fixed point known as E1, the UV completion of SU(2) super-Yang-Mills. The phases of the non- supersymmetric theory can be charact...

    Localization of the action in AdS/CFT

    We derive a simple formula for the action of any supersymmetric solution to minimal gauged supergravity in the AdS4/CFT3 correspondence. Such solutions are equipped with a supersymmetric Killing vector, and we sh...

    Topological AdS/CFT and the Ω deformation

    Holographic renormalization and supersymmetry

    Holographic renormalization is a systematic procedure for regulating divergences in observables in asymptotically locally AdS spacetimes. For dual boundary field theories which are supersymmetric it is natural...

    Supersymmetric gauge theories on five-manifolds
