In this article, we consider the Kapustin-Witten equations on a closed $4$-manifold. We study certain analytic properties of solutions to the equations on a closed manifold. The main result is that there exists an $L^{2}$-lower bound on the…
In the present paper, we find a system of non-linear ODEs that gives rotationally invariant solutions to the Kapustin-Witten equations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space. We explicitly solve these ODEs in some special cases and find decaying…
We study solutions to the Kapustin--Witten equations on ALE and ALF gravitational instantons. On any such space and for any compact structure group, we prove asymptotic estimates for the Higgs field. We then use it to prove a vanishing…
Arising from a topological twist of $\mathcal{N} = 4$ super Yang-Mills theory are the Kapustin-Witten equations, a family of gauge-theoretic equations on a four-manifold parametrized by $t\in\mathbb{P}^1$. The parameter corresponds to a…
The quantized version of a discrete Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov system is solved by an extension of the generalized Bethe Ansatz. The solutions are constructed to be of highest weight which means they fully reflect the internal quantum group…
This expository article introduces the Kapustin-Witten equations to mathematicians. We discuss the connections between the Complex Yang-Mills equations and the Kapustin-Witten equations. In addition, we show the relation between the…
The $\theta$-Kapustin-Witten equations are a family of equations for a connection $A$ on a principal $G$-bundle $E \to W^4$ and a one-form $\phi$, called the Higgs field, with values in the adjoint bundle $\operatorname{ad} E$. They give…

We investigate 4D Chern-Simons theory with ADE gauge symmetries in the presence of interacting Wilson and 't Hooft line defects. We analyse the intrinsic properties of these lines' coupling and explicate the building of oscillator-type Lax…
We consider a topologically twisted maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on a four-manifold of the form $V = W \times {\mathbb R}_+$. 't Hooft disorder operators localized in the boundary component at finite distance of $V$ are…
We explicitly write dowm integral formulas for solutions to Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations with coefficients in non-bounded -- neither highest nor lowest weight -- $\gtsl_{n+1}$-modules. The formulas are closely related to WZNW model at a…
In this article, we study the Kapustin-Witten equations on a closed, simply-connected, four-dimensional manifold which were introduced by Kapustin and Witten. We use the Taubes' compactness theorem in arXiv:1307.6447v4 to prove that if…

We construct the regularized Wheeler--De Witt operator demanding that the algebra of constraints of quantum gravity is anomaly free. We find that for only a small subset of all wavefunctions being integrals of scalar densities this…
