W_3 irregular states and isolated N=2 superconformal field theories

A bstractWe explore the proposal that the six-dimensional (2, 0) theory on the Riemann surface with irregular punctures leads to a four-dimensional gauge theory coupled to the isolated

superconformal theories of Argyres-Douglas type, and to two-dimensional conformal field theory with irregular states. Following the approach of Gaiotto-Teschner for the Virasoro case, we construct

Microstates of D1–D5(-P) black holes, as interacting D-branes

A bstractWe analyze instantons in the very strongly coupled large-N limit (N → ∞ with g2 fixed) of large-N gauge theories, where the effect of the instantons remains finite. By using the exact partition function of four-dimensional
