A slow review of the AGT correspondence

B Le Floch - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Starting with a gentle approach to the Alday–Gaiotto–Tachikawa (AGT) correspondence
from its 6d origin, these notes provide a wide (albeit shallow) survey of the literature on …

Elliptic stable envelopes

M Aganagic, A Okounkov - Journal of the American Mathematical Society, 2021 - ams.org
We construct stable envelopes in equivariant elliptic cohomology of Nakajima quiver
varieties. In particular, this gives an elliptic generalization of the results of Maulik and …

BPS/CFT correspondence: non-perturbative Dyson-Schwinger equations and qq-characters

N Nekrasov - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We study symmetries of quantum field theories involving topologically distinct
sectors of the field space. To exhibit these symmetries we define special gauge invariant …

Supersymmetric localization in two dimensions

F Benini, B Le Floch - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org

Black hole quasinormal modes and Seiberg–Witten theory

G Aminov, A Grassi, Y Hatsuda - Annales Henri Poincare, 2022 - Springer
We present new analytic results on black hole perturbation theory. Our results are based on
a novel relation to four-dimensional N= 2 N= 2 supersymmetric gauge theories. We propose …

Non-perturbative approaches to the quantum Seiberg-Witten curve

A bstract We study various non-perturbative approaches to the quantization of the Seiberg-
Witten curve of\(\mathcal {N}\)= 2, SU (2) super Yang-Mills theory, which is closely related to …

Supersymmetric Casimir energy and the anomaly polynomial

N Bobev, M Bullimore, HC Kim - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015 - Springer
A bstract We conjecture that for superconformal field theories in even dimensions, the
supersymmetric Casimir energy on a space with topology S 1× SD− 1 is equal to an …

Duality walls and defects in 5d theories

D Gaiotto, HC Kim - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract We propose an explicit description of “duality walls” which encode at low energy
the global symmetry enhancement expected in the UV completion of certain five …

The equivariant A-twist and gauged linear sigma models on the two-sphere

C Closset, S Cremonesi, DS Park - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015 - Springer
A bstract We study two-dimensional\(\mathcal {N}=\left (2,\; 2\right)\) supersymmetric gauged
linear sigma models (GLSM) on the Ω-deformed sphere, S 2 Ω, which is a one-parameter …

BPS/CFT correspondence IV: sigma models and defects in gauge theory

N Nekrasov - Letters in Mathematical Physics, 2019 - Springer
Quantum field theory L_1 L 1 on spacetime X_ 1 X 1 can be coupled to another quantum
field theory L_2 L 2 on a spacetime X_ 2 X 2 via the third quantum field theory L_ 12 L 12 …
