Abstract

We find an infinite family of 4D N=2 interacting superconformal field theories which enter the description of the strong-coupling limit of SU(2N+1) gauge theories with hypermultiplets in the \wedge²(\square)+Sym²(\square) . These theories arise from the compactification of the 6D (2,0) theory of type A_2N on a sphere with two full twisted punctures and one minimal untwisted puncture. For N=1, this theory is the "new" rank-1 SCFT with Δ(u)=3 of Argyres and Wittig. Using the superconformal index, we finally pin down the properties of this theory.
