M5-brane sources, holography, and Argyres-Douglas theories

Abstract We initiate a study of the holographic duals of a class of four-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 superconformal field theories that are engineered by wrapping M5-branes on a sphere with an irregular puncture. These notably include the strongly-coupled field theories of Argyres-Douglas ty...
