M-theory superstrata and the MSW string

Abstract The low-energy description of wrapped M5 branes in compactifications of M-theory on a Calabi-Yau threefold times a circle is given by a conformal field theory studied by Maldacena, Strominger and Witten and known as the MSW CFT. Taking the threefold to be T 6 $$ {\mathbb{T}}_6 $$ or K 3 × T...
