Event Description

Four-dimensional superconformal field theories can be studied and partially classified by compactifying six-dimensional ones on punctured Riemann surfaces.  In this talk we discuss the holographic dual of this set-up and explore how various gravitational sources encode the data associated to the punctures.  We also discuss new classes of AdS5 solutions in IIA supergravity that admit all possible solitonic sources.
