Description

We classify 4d N=1 superconformal field theories arising from asymptotically free simple gauge theories that admit a large N limit, finding 35 families that organize into three universal types according to their large N behavior of central charges. Using this landscape, we test the AdS Weak Gravity Conjecture: the original bound can fail, but a modified bound based on the supersymmetric Cardy formula holds universally — even at finite N. Based on arXiv:2510.19136 and arXiv:2308.01717.
