摘要:
Inspired by the recently discovered holographic duality between N = 2 SCFTs and half-BPS M-theory backgrounds, we study probe M5-branes. Though our main focus is supersymmetric M5-branes whose worldvolume has an AdS(n) factor, we also consider some other configurations. Of special mention is the identification of AdS(5) and AdS(3) probes preserving supersymmetry, with only the latter supporting a self-dual field strength.
