We propose a generalization of S-folds to 4d N=2 theories. This construction is motivated by the classification of rank one 4d N=2 super-conformal field theories (SCFTs), which we reproduce from D3-branes probing a configuration of N=2 S-folds combined with 7-branes. The main advantage of this point of view is that realizes both Coulomb and Higgs branch flows and allows for a straightforward generalization to higher rank theories.

Abstract

We propose a generalization of S-folds to 4d N=2 theories. This construction is motivated by the classification of rank one 4d N=2 super-conformal field theories (SCFTs), which we reproduce from D3-branes probing a configuration of N=2 S-folds combined with 7-branes. The main advantage of this point of view is that realizes both Coulomb and Higgs branch flows and allows for a straightforward generalization to higher rank theories.
