Abstract

We study AdS duals of four-dimensional (4D) N=1 superconformal field theories (SCFTs) on ℤ_k S-folds with T-branes that flow to 4D N=3 theories. In a previous study, it was discussed how considering T-brane structure breaks the N=2 supersymmetry in 4D SCFTs on ℤ_k S-folds down to N=1. In this study, we analyze this effect from the AdS perspective. We also discuss the constructions of 4D N=1 SCFTs on S-folds with T-branes starting from global K3 hypersurfaces whose fibers involve complex multiplications. We choose an approach to directly analyze the global K3 geometry without relying on the standard Weierstrass technique.
