We study the Coulomb-branch sector of 3D $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauge theories with half-hypermultiplets in general pseudoreal representations $\mathbf{R}$ ("noncotangent" theories). This yields (short) quantization of the Coulomb branch and…

We construct the one-dimensional topological sector of $\mathcal N = 6$ ABJ(M) theory and study its relation with the mass-deformed partition function on $S^3$. Supersymmetric localization provides an exact representation of this partition…

We study 1+1-dimensional theories of vector and hypermultiplets with (4,4) supersymmetry. Despite strong infrared fluctuations, these theories flow in general to distinct conformal field theories on the Coulomb and Higgs branches. In some…

It is known that the two- and three-point functions of Higgs-branch superconformal primaries in 4d N=2 superconformal field theories obey non-renormalization theorems on N=2 superconformal manifolds. In this paper we prove a stronger…

We employ the protected sphere correlation functions of three-dimensional Super Conformal Field Theories with eight supercharges in order to define a quantization of their Higgs and Coulomb branches of vacua as real phase spaces. We also…

We analyse the computation of the partition function of 5d $T_N$ theories in Higgs branches using the topological vertex. The theories are realised by a web of $(p,q)$ 5-branes whose dual description may be given by an M-theory…

We present a compact formula for the supersymmetric partition function of 2d N=(2,2), 3d N=2 and 4d N=1 gauge theories on $\Sigma_g \times T^n$ with partial topological twist on $\Sigma_g$, where $\Sigma_g$ is a Riemann surface of arbitrary…

We perform SUSY localization for Coulomb branch operators of 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauge theories in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with $\Omega$-deformation. For the dressed monopole operators whose expectation values do not involve non-perturbative…
