Résumé |
The characterisation of the physics of the M5-brane remains an important
open problem in string theory. While the superconformal field theory
that resides on planar M5-brane in flat space is poorly understood,
other configurations involving M5-brane wrapped on certain manifolds
have well-known superconformal field theory descriptions of so-called
class S. In this talk, I will use new methods based on exceptional
generalised geometry/field theory to describe the gravity duals of class
S field theories and provide, for the first time, a holographic match of
their superconformal index. |
