Abstract: We study the holographic description of

c a l N = 2

Super Conformal Field Theories in four dimensions first given by Gaiotto and Maldacena. We present new expressions that holographically calculate characteristic numbers of the CFT and associated Hanany-Witten set-ups, or more dynamical observables, like the central charge. A number of examples of varying complexity are studied and some proofs for these new expressions are presented. We repeat this treatment for the case of the marginally deformed Gaiotto-Maldacena theories, presenting an infinite family of new solutions and compute some of its observables. These new backgrounds rely on the solution of a Laplace equation and a boundary condition, encoding the kinematics of the original conformal field theory.
