We consider a twisted version of the four-dimensional N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with gauge groups SU(2) and SO(3), and bare masses for two of its chiral multiplets, thereby breaking N=4 down to N=2. Using the wall-crossing…

We study the large $N$ limit of twisted partition functions on $\mathcal{M}_{g,p}$, the $S^1$ bundle of degree $p$ over a Riemann surface of genus $g$, for 3D $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories arising as low-energy limit of…

We study a supersymmetric partition function of topological vortices in 3d N=4,3 gauge theories on R^2 x S^1, and use it to explore Seiberg-like dualities with Fayet-Iliopoulos deformations. We provide a detailed support of these dualities…
