Given that the origin of the Alday-Gaiotto-Tachikawa (AGT) duality can be traced back to the compactification of the flat space d superconformal field theory J. Yagi, (2012) , I am curious about the possibility of extending this duality to nontrivial geometries. Meaning, if the compactification of d SCFT coupled to gravity A. P. Braun, M. Larfors, P.-K. Oehlmann, (2021) (section 3) [which can be thought of as compactifications of IIB string theory on surfaces at specific loci in the moduli space], P. S. Aspinwall, (1996) on a Riemann surface, and search for a duality between the partition function of the d SUGRA and a d CFT similar to that of the Liouville field theory is possible in principle. In particular, one knows that the observables of the d SUGRA are already known in terms of the Nekrasov-like partition function K. Hristov , which is quite similar to that of the flat-space d gauge theory. Finally, such a framework enables one to formally investigate the conjectured existence of a UV fixed point in Einstein's quantum gravity A. B. Platania, (2018)
Is it possible to generalize the Alday-Gaiotto-Tachikawa (AGT) correspondence (duality) to nontrivial geometries?
