Twisted $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 SCFTs and their AdS3 duals

Abstract

Abstract We study compactifications of an infinite family of four-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 SCFTs on a Riemann surface in the presence of arbitrary background fluxes for global symmetries. The four-dimensional parent theories have holographic Sasaki-Einstein duals in type IIB string theory. We compute central charges and R-charges of baryonic operators in the resulting two-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (0, 2) theories in three distinct ways: from the field theory side utilizing c-extremization, its recently discovered geometric dual formulation, and holographically using new AdS3 duals of two-dimensional field theories.
