The Argyres Douglas Theory is a type of superconformal field theory. It is an interesting 
construct, a quantum field theory with roots in String Theory. My understanding of this subject 
and from what I can tell, this subject is poorly understood..

The ultimate aim is a “theory of everything”, linking gravity and quantum mechanics. But the 
subject is intensely mathematical. To dig deeper, I recommend a good textbook on string theory 
and some of the papers listed below.
