The first half summarizes various aspects of 6d field theories, while the latter half investigates torus compactifications of these theories, and relates them to four-dimensional superconformal field theories in the class, called class S. It is known that compactifications of 6d conformal field theories with maximal supersymmetries provide numerous insights into four-dimensional superconformal field theories. This thesis generalizes the story to the theories with smaller supersymmetry, constructing those six-dimensional theories as brane configurations in the M-theory, and highlighting the importance of fractionalization of M5-branes. This result establishes new dualities between the theories with eight supercharges.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Quantum field theoryString modelsPhysicsParticles (Nuclear physics)Quantum Field Theories, String Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048Mathematical Methods in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029Quantum field theory.String models.Physics.Particles (Nuclear physics)Quantum Field Theories, String Theory.Mathematical Methods in Physics.Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory.530.14Ohmori Kantaroauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut835969BOOK9910300532603321Six-Dimensional Superconformal Field Theories and Their Torus Compactifications1868325UNINA
