DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Oscar Varela (Utah State University)\n\nThe characte
 risation of the physics of the M5-brane remains an important open problem 
 in string theory. While the superconformal field theory that resides on a 
 planar M5-brane in flat space is poorly understood\, other configurations 
 involving M5-branes wrapped on certain manifolds have well-known superconf
 ormal field theory descriptions\, including N=2 class S field theories. In
  this talk\, I will use new methods based on exceptional generalised geome
 try to describe the gravity duals of class S field theories\, compute a un
 iversal sector of their light-operator spectrum\, and provide\, for the fi
 rst time\, a holographic match of their superconformal index.\n\nhttps://i
