`New SCFTs From M5-Branes'

Abstract: In string/M-theory, it is possible to engineer a wide variety of
interesting supersymmetric conformal field theories (SCFTs) by wrapping branes
on nontrivial manifolds. In this talk, I will describe a new infinite set of
theories which come from M5-branes on Riemann surfaces. The corresponding
supergravity solutions interpolate between, and extend beyond, a famous pair
of solutions by Maldacena and Nuñez. Additionally, the dual SCFTs are
"non-Lagrangian" theories, which have no weakly coupled UV descriptions, yet
can (and will) be described explicitly.
