Abstract

We study orbifolds of N = 4 U(n) super-Yang-Mills theory given by discrete subgroups of SU(2) and SU(3). We have reached many interesting observations that have graph-theoretic interpretations. For the subgroups of SU(2), we have shown how the matter content agrees with current quiver theories and have offered a possible explanation. In the case of SU(3) we have constructed a catalogue of candidates for finite (chiral) N = 1 theories, giving the gauge group and matter content. Finally, we conjecture a McKay-type correspondence for Gorenstein singularities in dimension 3 with modular invariants of WZW conformal models. This implies a connection between a class of finite N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions and the classification of affine SU(3) modular invariant partition functions in two dimensions.
