    Classification of N=2 supersymmetric CFT_{4}s: Indefinite Series

    Full text link
    Using geometric engineering method of 4D N=2\mathcal{N}=2 quiver gauge theories and results on the classification of Kac-Moody (KM) algebras, we show on explicit examples that there exist three sectors of N=2\mathcal{N}=2 infrared CFT4_{4}s. Since the geometric engineering of these CFT4_{4}s involve type II strings on K3 fibered CY3 singularities, we conjecture the existence of three kinds of singular complex surfaces containing, in addition to the two standard classes, a third indefinite set. To illustrate this hypothesis, we give explicit examples of K3 surfaces with H34_{3}^{4} and E10_{10} hyperbolic singularities. We also derive a hierarchy of indefinite complex algebraic geometries based on affine ArA_{r} and T%_{(p,q,r)} algebras going beyond the hyperbolic subset. Such hierarchical surfaces have a remarkable signature that is manifested by the presence of poles.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figure

    On Thermodynamics of AdS Black Holes in M-Theory

    Full text link
    Motivated by a recent work on asymptotically AdS_4 black holes in M-theory, we investigate the thermodynamics and thermodynamical geometry of AdS black holes from M2 and M5-branes. Concretely, we consider AdS black holes in AdS_{p+2}\times S^{11-p-2}, where p=2,5 by interpreting the number of M2 (and M5-branes) as a thermodynamical variable. We study the corresponding phase transition to examine their stabilities by calculating and discussing various thermodynamical quantities including the chemical potential. Then, we compute the thermodynamical curvatures from the Quevedo metric for M2 and M5-branes geometries to reconsider the stability of such black objects. The Quevedo metric singularities recover similar stability results provided by the phase transition program.Comment: 16 pages, 12 figures. Late
