We study the relation between class S theories on punctured tori and isomonodromic deformations of flat SL(N) connections on the two dimensional torus with punctures. Turning on the self dual $\Omega$-background corresponds to a…
Matrix spherical functions associated to the compact symmetric pair $(\mathrm{SU}(m+2), \mathrm{S}(\mathrm{U}(2)\times \mathrm{U}(m))$, having reduced root system of type $\mathrm{BC}_2$, are studied. We consider an irreducible…
It is well known that five-point function in Liouville field theory provides a representation of solutions of the SL(2,R)_k Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation at the level of four-point function. Here, we make use of such representation to…
In this series of three papers, we generalize the derivation of dual photons and monopoles by Polyakov, and Banks, Myerson and Kogut, to obtain approximative models of SU(2) lattice gauge theory. Our approach is based on stationary phase…
A recent claim that the S-duality between 4d SUSY gauge theories, which is AGT related to the modular transformations of 2d conformal blocks, is no more than an ordinary Fourier transform at the perturbative level, is further traced down to…
The SU(2) Wigner function represents a quantum state of a spin-$J$ as a real-valued function on the surface of a 2-sphere. For an ensemble of $N$ spin-1/2 particles, this representation is useful when the dynamics is restricted to a single…
This paper outlines an approach to the non-abelian theta functions of the $SU(2)$-Chern-Simons theory with the methods used by A. Weil for studying classical theta functions. First we translate in knot theoretic language classical theta…
Using a variant of the IMCRG method of Gupta and Cordery, we explicitly compute majority rule block spin effective actions for the signs of the Polyakov loops in 4D SU(2) finite temperature lattice gauge theories. To the best of our…
Starting with nonsymmetric global difference spherical functions, we define and calculate spinor (nonsymmetric) global q-Whittaker functions for arbitrary reduced root systems, which are reproducing kernels of the DAHA-Fourier transforms of…
The six-vertex model and its spin-$S$ descendants obtained from the fusion procedure are well-known lattice discretizations of the SU$(2)_k$ WZW models, with $k=2S$. It is shown that, in these models, it is possible to exhibit a local…
We present a classification of bilinear Majorana representations for spin-$S$ operators, based on the real irreducible matrix representations of SU(2). We identify two types of such representations: While the first type can be…
Extending the methods developed in our previous works (arXiv:1110.3949, arXiv:1205.6060), we compute the three-point functions at strong coupling of the non-BPS states with large quantum numbers corresponding to the composite operators…
We study the solution of the Schlesinger system for the 4-point $\mathfrak{sl}_N$ isomonodromy problem and conjecture an expression for the isomonodromic $\tau$-function in terms of 2d conformal field theory beyond the known $N=2$…
We find the GKO coset construction of the dimension 4 Casimir operator that contains the quartic WZW currents contracted with completely symmetric SU(N) invariant tensors of ranks 4, 3, and 2. The requirements, that the operator product…
We compute the two-point function of Konishi-like operators up to one-loop order, in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We work perturbatively in N=1 superspace. We find the expression expected on the basis of superconformal invariance…
Starting from SO(N) current algebra, we construct two lowest primary higher spin-4 Casimir operators which are quartic in spin-1 fields. For N is odd, one of them corresponds to the current in the WB_{\frac{N-1}{2}} minimal model. For N is…
We study the twisted version of the supersymmetric $G/T=SU(n)/U(1)^{\otimes(n-1)} gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model. By studying its fixed points under BRST transformation this model is shown to be reduced to a simple topological field…
The Wegner $Z_2$ gauge theory-$Z_2$ Ising spin model duality in $(2+1)$ dimensions is revisited and derived through a series of canonical transformations. The Kramers-Wannier duality is similarly obtained. The Wegner $Z_2$ gauge-spin…
We compute the Nekrasov partition function of gauge theories on the (resolved) toric singularities C^2/\Gamma in terms of blow-up formulae. We discuss the expansion of the partition function in the \epsilon_1,\epsilon_2 \to 0 limit along…
The functional approach to Coulomb gauge Yang-Mills theory is considered within the standard, second order, formalism. The Dyson-Schwinger equations and Slavnov-Taylor identities concerning the two-point functions are derived explicitly and…
