We consider the partition function of super Yang-Mills theories defined on $T^2 \times \Sigma_g$. This path integral can be computed by the localization. The one-loop determinant is evaluated by the elliptic genus. This elliptic genus gives…

We provide quantitative evidence for our previous conjecture which states an equivalence of the partition function of a 3d N=2 gauge theory on a duality wall and that of the SL(2,R) Chern-Simons theory on a mapping torus, for a class of…

We review some of the properties of 3d N=4 theories obtained by dimensionally reducing theories of class S. We study 3d partition functions, and certain limits thereof, for such theories, and the properties implied for these by 3d mirror…

We investigate 3d $\mathscr{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories on $S^1 \times S^2$ and the corresponding 2d effective field theories arising in the limit of small ratio of radii, $\beta=R_{S^1}/R_{S^2}\to 0$. We evaluate the exact…

We show that a quantum-mechanical N=2 supersymmetry is hidden in 4d mass spectrum of any gauge invariant theories with extra dimensions. The N=2 supercharges are explicitly constructed in terms of differential forms. The analysis can be…

We evaluate partition functions of matrix models which are given by topologically twisted and dimensionally reduced actions of d=4 N=1 super Yang-Mills theories with classical (semi-)simple gauge groups, SO(2N), SO(2N+1) and USp(2N). The…

We define the notion of a complete N=2 supersymmetric theory in 4 dimensions as a UV complete theory for which all the BPS central charges can be arbitrarily varied as we vary its Coulomb branch parameters, masses, and coupling constants.…

In 4D renormalisable theories, integrating out massive states generates in the low energy effective action higher dimensional operators (derivative or otherwise). Using a superfield language it is shown that a 4D N=1 supersymmetric theory…
