Abstract

In this set of five Lectures we present a basic toolbox to discuss the dynamics of four dimensional supersymmetric quantum field theories. In particular we overview the program of geometrically engineering the four dimensional supersymmetric models as compactifications of six dimensional SCFTs. We discuss how strong coupling phenomena in four dimensions, such as duality and emergence of symmetry, can be naturally imbedded in the geometric constructions. The Lectures mostly review results which previously appeared in the literature but also contain some unpublished derivations.

Author comments upon resubmission

We thank the referee again for thoroughly going over the paper and for the very useful comments.

We have edited the file according to referee's comments, correcting the typos and expanding a bit on some of the points.
