This paper is a continuation of our investigation into the Coulomb branches of twisted $A_{2n}$ of class-S. In arXiv:2411.17675, we found predictions for the contributions of twisted punctures to the graded dimensions of the Coulomb branch,…
In this paper, we present an explicit construction of twisted traces for quantum Coulomb branches of conical theories. We develop an operator representation of the Coulomb branch algebra and use it to derive integral formulas for the…
Following [Beem C., Peelaers W., Rastelli L., Comm. Math. Phys. 354 (2017), 345-392, arXiv:1601.05378] and [Etingof P., Stryker D., SIGMA 16 (2020), 014, 28 pages, arXiv:1909.13588], we undertake a detailed study of twisted traces on…
This short note is devoted to the study of $G$-Higgs bundles twisted by a central gerbe. These objects arise naturally in the decomposition of the inertia stacks of $G$-Higgs bundles in terms of coendoscopic data. We establish that…
We explore the geometric interpretation of the twisted index of 3d ${\mathcal N} =4$ gauge theories on $S^1\times \Sigma$ where $\Sigma$ is a closed Riemann surface. We focus on a rich class of supersymmetric quiver gauge theories that have…
We conjecture, and show in a plethora of examples, that the sphere partition function of 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ Chern-Simons-matter theories equals a sum of twisted traces on tensor products of Verma modules over the quantization of the moduli…
This paper presents new developments in the study of 3d mirror symmetry and the phase structure of Abelian gauge theories. Previous works identified 3d mirrors for a specific class of theories, termed ``simple" Abelian theories. This work…
We investigate new aspects related to the abelian gauge-Higgs model with the addition of the Carroll-Field-Jackiw term. We focus on one-loop quantum corrections to the photon and Higgs sectors due to spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetry…
This paper is about establishing a natural connection of quantum affine algebras with quantum vertex algebras. Among the main results, we establish $\hbar$-adic versions of the smash product construction of quantum vertex algebras and their…
Positive twisted traces are mathematical objects that could be useful in computing certain parameters of superconformal field theories. The case when $\mathcal{A}$ is a $q$-Weyl algebra and $\rho$ is a certain antilinear automorphism of…
Twisted \'etale groupoid algebras have been studied recently in the algebraic setting by several authors in connection with an abstract theory of Cartan pairs of rings. In this paper, we show that extensions of ample groupoids correspond in…
We study moduli spaces of twisted quasimaps to a hypertoric variety $X$, arising as the Higgs branch of an abelian supersymmetric gauge theory in three dimensions. These parametrise general quiver representations whose building blocks are…
We study the quantum double of a finite abelian group $G$ twisted by a $3$-cocycle and give a sufficient condition when such a twisted quantum double will be gauge equivalent to a ordinary quantum double of a finite group. Moreover, we will…
We define group-twisted Alexander-Whitney and Eilenberg-Zilber maps for converting between bimodule resolutions of skew group algebras. These algebras are the natural semidirect products recording actions of finite groups by automorphisms.…
In this paper we study twisted traces of products of intertwining operators for quantum affine algebras. They are interesting special functions, depending on two weights lambda, mu, three scalar parameters q, omega, k, and spectral…
Motivated by logarithmic conformal field theory and Gromov-Witten theory, we introduce a notion of a twisted module of a vertex algebra under an arbitrary (not necessarily semisimple) automorphism. Its main feature is that the twisted…
We study the notion of $1$-twisted semi-homogeneous vector bundles on $\mathbb{G}_m$-gerbes over abelian varieties, and classify point objects in the twisted derived categories of abelian varieties. As an application, we classify the…
The twisted index of 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theories on $S^1 \times \Sigma$ has an algebro-geometric interpretation as the Witten index of an effective supersymmetric quantum mechanics. In this paper, we consider the contributions to the…
We analyse extensions $\Sigma$ of groupoids $G$ by bundles $A$ of abelian groups. We describe a pushout construction for such extensions, and use it to describe the extension group of a given groupoid $G$ by a given bundle $A$. There is a…
We define a Fourier-Mukai transform for Higgs bundles on smooth curves and study its properties. It is shown that the transform of a stable zero-degree Higgs bundle is an algebraic vector bundle on the cotangent bundle of the Jacobian of…
