Many N=(2,2) two-dimensional nonlinear sigma models with Calabi-Yau target spaces admit ultraviolet descriptions as N=(2,2) gauge theories (gauged linear sigma models). We conjecture that the two-sphere partition function of such…
The AGT conjecture relates \mathcal{N}=2 4d SUSY gauge theories to 2d CFTs. Matrix model techniques can be used to investigate both sides of this relation. The large N limit refers here to the size of Young tableaux in the expression of the…
The $\Omega$-background is defined for supergravity, and a very general class of such backgrounds is constructed for 11-dimensional supergravity. 11-dimensional supergravity in a certain $\Omega$-background is shown to be equivalent to a…
This is a companion paper to our previous one, Avatars of Stein's Theorem in the complex setting. In this previous paper, we gave a sufficient condition for an integrable function in the upper-half plane to have an integrable Bergman…
In a previous paper [\AS], we used superspace techniques to prove that perturbation theory (around a classical solution with no zero modes) for Chern--Simons quantum field theory on a general $3$-manifold $M$ is finite. We conjectured (and…
We associate to a test configuration of an ample line bundle a filtration of the section ring of the line bundle. Using the recent work of Boucksom-Chen we get a concave function on the Okounkov body whose law with respect to Lebesgue…
We develop a theory of abstract intermediate function spaces on a compact convex set $X$ and study the behaviour of multipliers and centers of these spaces. In particular, we provide some criteria for coincidence of the center with the…
We consider the partition function of the superconformal Chern-Simons theories with the quiver diagram being the affine D-type Dynkin diagram. Rewriting the partition function into that of a Fermi gas system, we show that the perturbative…
We consider the partition function of beta-gamma systems in curved space of the type discussed by Nekrasov and Witten. We show how the Koszul resolution theorem can be applied to the computation of the partition functions and to characters…
In this paper we conjecture a reformulation of the monomial-divisor mirror map for (2,2) mirror symmetry, valid at a boundary of the moduli space, that is easily extended to also include tangent bundle deformations -- an important step…
We introduce a new volume definition on normed vector spaces. We show that the induced $k$-area functionals are convex for all $k$. In the particular case $k=2$, our theorem implies that Busemann's 2-volume density is convex, which was…
We propose a duality for N=2 d=3 Chern-Simons gauge theories with orthogonal gauge groups and matter in the vector representation. This duality generalizes level-rank duality for pure Chern-Simons gauge theories with orthogonal gauge groups…
We define a sequence of invariants $\mathcal{Z}_{N}^{\psi}$ of tangles with flat $\mathfrak{sl}_{2}$ connections (i.e. hyperbolic structures) on their complements. These can be interpreted as a geometric twist of the Kashaev invariant or as…
We describe dualities and complexes of logarithmic forms and differentials for central affine and corresponding projective arrangements. We generalize the Borel-Serre formula from vector bundles to sheaves on projective d-space with locally…
We derive the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet Theorem for manifolds with smooth non-degenerate boundary in the pseudo-Riemannian context from the corresponding result in the Riemannian setting by examining the Euler-Lagrange equations associated to the…
We present the partition function of the refined Chern-Simons theory on $S^3$ with arbitrary A,B,C,D gauge algebra in terms of multiple sine functions. For B and C cases this representation is novel. It allows us to conjecture duality to…
A gauge invariant action principle, based on the idea of transgression forms, is proposed. The action extends the Chern-Simons form by the addition of a boundary term that makes the action gauge invariant (and not just quasi-invariant).…
On the generalized tangent bundle of a smooth manifold, we study skew-symmetric endomorphism satisfying an arbitrary polynomial equation with real constant coefficients. We study the compatibility of these structures with the de Rham…
We study the Chern-Simons partition function of orthogonal quantum group invariants, and propose a new orthogonal Labastida-Mari\~{n}o-Ooguri-Vafa conjecture as well as degree conjecture for free energy associated to the orthogonal…
In this note we present some results on the convergence of Nekrasov partition functions as power series in the instanton counting parameter. We focus on $U(N)$ ${\mathcal N}=2$ gauge theories in four dimensions with matter in the adjoint…
