Abstract

We discuss a novel UV completion of a class of Argyres-Douglas (AD) theories in the Ω\Omega-background by its embedding into the renormalisation group flow from five dimensional N=1\mathcal{N}=1 superconformal field theories (SCFT) on S1S^1. This is obtained via analysing these theories in the light of (qq-)Painlev\'e/gauge theory correspondence, which allows to compute the five dimensional BPS partition functions as an expansion in the Wilson loop vev with integer qq-polynomials coefficients. These are derived formulating the gauge theory on a blown-up geometry and using a five-dimensional lift of (topological) operator/state correspondence. We discuss in detail the phase diagram of the four dimensional limits, pinpointing the special AD loci. Explicit computations are reported for E~1\tilde E_1 SCFT and its limit to H0=(A1,A2)_0=(A_1,A_2) AD theory.
