A bstract We introduce a new class of non-compact backgrounds Type IIB string theory preserving eight supercharges by combining S-folds and non-perturbative 7-branes wrapping orbifolds, study the four-dimensional superconformal field theories arising at low energy on D 3-branes probing them. draw precise correspondence between this setup torus compactification six-dimensional orbi-instanton with Stiefel-Whitney twist, use it to determine main features such strongly-coupled systems, like central charges, spectra Coulomb-branch operators, networks Higgs-branch flows. Finally, aim improve our understanding landscape $$ \mathcal{N} <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>N</mml:mi> </mml:math> = 2 theories, possibly extend their classification beyond rank two, we provide detailed catalogue all rank-three that framework gives access to.
