Let $\Delta$ be a linear differential operator acting on the space of densities of a given weight $\lo$ on a manifold $M$. One can consider a pencil of operators $\hPi(\Delta)=\{\Delta_\l\}$ passing through the operator $\Delta$ such that…

Let s be the space of rapidly decreasing sequences. We give the spectral representation of normal elements in the Fr\'echet algebra L(s',s) of the so-called smooth operators. We also characterize closed commutative *-subalgebras of L(s',s)…

We study the N=2 four-dimensional superconformal index in various interesting limits, such that only states annihilated by more than one supercharge contribute. Extrapolating from the SU(2) generalized quivers, which have a Lagrangian…

We study Abelian $S$-duality of Maxwell theory on $A$-type asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) spaces. Unlike on closed four-manifolds, the Maxwell path integral on an ALE space is not naturally a scalar partition function. Rather, it…

Recently, large families of two-dimensional quantum field theories with factorizing S-matrices have been constructed by the operator-algebraic methods, by first showing the existence of observables localized in wedge-shaped regions.…

We construct the chiral algebra associated with the $A_{1}$-type class $\mathcal{S}$ theory for genus two Riemann surface without punctures. By solving the BRST cohomology problem corresponding to a marginal gauging in four dimensions, we…

We perform an exact localization calculation for the expectation values of Wilson-'t Hooft line operators in N=2 gauge theories on S^1xR^3. The expectation values are naturally expressed in terms of the complexified Fenchel-Nielsen…

We introduce and systematically develop two classes of discrete integrable operators: those with $2\times 2$ matrix kernels and those possessing general differential kernels, thereby generalizing the discrete analogue previously studied. A…

An explicit formula is obtained for the generalized Macdonald functions on the $N$-fold Fock tensor spaces, calculating a certain matrix element of a composition of several screened vertex operators. As an application, we prove the…

Let S_{w+2} be the vector space of cusp forms of weight w+2 on the full modular group, and let S_{w+2}^* denote its dual space. Periods of cusp forms can be regarded as elements of S_{w+2}^*. The Eichler-Shimura isomorphism theorem asserts…

We investigate composition-differentiation operators acting on the space $S^2$, the space of analytic functions on the open unit disk whose first derivative is in $H^2$. Specifically, we determine characterizations for bounded and compact…

We propose a refinement of the Kontsevich-Soibelman operator for a class of ``special'' 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories characterized by the following conditions: (1) their Coulomb branch admits a source/sink chamber, i.e.,…
