SUMMARY:New Superconformal Field Theories From Wrapped Branes - Brian Wech
 t\, Queen Mary\, University of London

CONTACT:Dr Anatoly Dymarsky
DESCRIPTION:In string/M-theory\, it is possible to engineer a wide variety
  of interesting supersymmetric conformal field theories (SCFTs) by wrappin
 g branes on nontrivial manifolds. In this talk\, I will describe a new inf
 inite set of theories which come from M5-branes on Riemann surfaces. The c
 orresponding supergravity solutions interpolate between and extend beyond 
 a famous pair of solutions by Maldacena and Nuñez. Additionally\, the dua
 l SCFTs are "non-Lagrangian" theories\, which have no weakly coupled UV de
 scriptions\, yet can (and will) be described explicitly.
