Closed forms for $f_{\lambda,i} (q) := \sum_{\tau \in SYT(\lambda) : des(\tau) = i} q^{maj(\tau)}$, the distribution of the major index over standard Young tableaux of given shapes and specified number of descents, are established for a…

We present a DSSYK-like interpretation of the Schur half-indices of $\mathcal{N}=2$ $SU(2)$ gauge theories with matter, in the presence of fundamental Wilson lines. The Schur half-indices of these theories can be understood as transition…

We calculate an unrefined limit of the superconformal index (the Schur-like index) of the Klebanov-Witten theory from the dual AdS side by using the recently developed giant graviton expansion method. Our formula includes multiple sums of…

We present exact evaluations of superconformal indices for 4d N =1 and N =2 pure Super Yang-Mills theories with arbitrary simple gauge group G. Our approach applies the Macdonald identities for untwisted affine Lie algebras to the integral…

We introduce Schur multiple zeta functions which interpolate both the multiple zeta and multiple zeta-star functions of the Euler-Zagier type combinatorially. We first study their basic properties including a region of absolute convergence…

In previous papers it has been shown that the coefficients of terms in the large-$N$ expansion of a certain integrated four-point correlator of superconformal primary operators in $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are…

A closed expression is given for the generating function of (virtual) Poincar\'e polynomials of moduli spaces of semi-stable sheaves on the projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$ with arbitrary rank $r$ and Chern classes. This generating function…

A set of functions is defined which is indexed by a positive integer $n$ and partitions of integers. The case $n=1$ reproduces the standard Schur polynomials. These functions are seen to arise naturally as a determinant of an action on the…

We calculate the Schur index of the ${\cal N}=4$ $U(N)$ SYM with finite $N$ via the AdS/CFT correspondence as the contribution of D3-branes wrapped on contractible cycles in $\boldsymbol{S}^5$ on some assumptions motivated by preliminary…

We conjecture a formula for the Schur index of N=2 four-dimensional theories in the presence of boundary conditions and/or line defects, in terms of the low-energy effective Seiberg-Witten description of the system together with massive BPS…

In a recent work, restricted Schur polynomials have been argued to form a complete orthogonal set of gauge invariant operators for the 1/4-BPS sector of free N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory with an SO(N) gauge group. In this work, we extend…

We focus on the 1/4-BPS sector of free super Yang-Mills theory with an SO(N) gauge group. This theory has an AdS/CFT dual in the form of type IIB string theory with AdS_5 X RP^5 geometry. With the aim of studying excited giant graviton…
