c-Extremization from toric geometry

We derive a geometric formulation of the 2d central charge cr from infinite families of 4d N=1 superconformal field theories topologically twisted on constant curvature Riemann surfaces. They correspond to toric quiver gauge theories and are associated to D3 branes probing five dimensional Sasaki–Ei...
