Abstract

Inspired by the recently discovered holographic duality between N = 2 SCFTs and half-BPS M-theory backgrounds, we study probeM5-branes. Though our main focus is supersymmetric M5-branes whose worldvolume has an AdSn factor, we also consider some other configurations. Of special mention is the identification of AdS5 and AdS3 probes preserving supersymmetry, with only the latter supporting a self-dual field strength.
