Using parafermionic field theoretical methods, the fundamentals of 2d fractional supersymmetry ${\bf Q}^{K} =P$ are set up. Known difficulties induced by methods based on the $U_{q}(sl(2))$ quantum group representations and non commutative…

We obtain some new results on classical solutions of two dimensional Euclidean sigma models. From earlier work of Din-Zakrzewski, Glaser-Stora, and numerous differential geometers, one knows explicit solutions in the case of the…

We use localization techniques to study the non-perturbative properties of an N=2 superconformal gauge theory with gauge group SU(3) and six fundamental flavours. The instanton corrections to the prepotential, the dual periods and the…

We study the superconformal index of 4d $\mathcal{N}=4$ $USp(2N_c)$ and $SO(N_c)$ SYM from a matrix model perspective. We focus on the Cardy-like limit of the index. Both in the symplectic and orthogonal case the index is dominated by a…

For a conformal theory it is natural to seek the conformal moduli space, M_c to which it belongs, generated by the exactly marginal deformations. By now we should have the tools to determine M_c in the presence of enough supersymmetry. Here…

In this paper, we study the explicit structure of the graded ring of elliptic modular forms for the congruence subgroup $\Gamma_0(N)$ with N=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,16,18,25. More precisely, making use of some relations between Fourier…

We establish a connection between the superconformal index of $\mathcal{N}=4$ $U(N)$ SYM and the elliptic Ruijsenaars-Schneider integrable system. The index admits an expression in terms of elliptic Macdonald polynomials, which leads to a…

We give explicit structure of the graded ring of modular forms with respect to Gamma(N) (N=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,16,18) and for some other congruence groups. We also study the modular forms of half-integer weight for certain groups.

We study mass deformations of $\mathcal{N}=4$, $d=4$ SYM theory that are spatially modulated in one spatial dimension and preserve some residual supersymmetry. We focus on generalisations of $\mathcal{N}=1^*$ theories and show that it is…

We review harmonic superspaces of the D=3, N=3 and 4 supersymmetries and gauge models in these superspaces. Superspaces of the D=3, N=5 supersymmetry use harmonic coordinates of the SO(5) group. The superfield N=5 actions describe the…

In this paper, we explore a two-way connection between quasimodular forms of depth $1$ and a class of second-order modular differential equations with regular singularities on the upper half-plane and the cusps. Here we consider the cases…

It is of interest to find criteria on a 2d CFT which indicate that it gives rise to emergent gravity in a macroscopic 3d AdS space via holography. Symmetric orbifolds in the large $N$ limit have partition functions which are consistent with…

We study the scalar curvature $R$ of the vector moduli space of 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$ supergravities, obtained by compactifying M-theory on a Calabi--Yau three-fold. We find that $R$ can only diverge at points where some gauge interactions go…

We introduce deformations of the space of (multi-diagonal) harmonic polynomials for any finite complex reflection group of the form W=G(m,p,n), and give supporting evidence that this space seems to always be isomorphic, as a graded…

Any local unitary 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ superconformal field theory (SCFT) has a corresponding "universal" relevant deformation that takes it to a gapped phase. This deformation preserves all continuous internal symmetries, $\mathcal{S}$, and…

For a class of arithmetic subgroups $\Gamma$ in SU(d,1) we prove that for every positive integer $n$ there exists a subgroup $\Gamma_n$ of finite index in $\Gamma$, which lifts to the $n$-fold connected cover of of SU(d,1). Consequently…

Exploiting the symmetry topological field theory/topological order correspondence (SymTFT/TO), together with the higher-categorical structure of 6D N =(2,0) SCFTs, we prove that the total quantum dimension of the relative gaugeable algebra…

We discuss a special ``symplectic'' class of N = 4 supersymmetric sigma models in (0+1) dimension with 5r bosonic and 4r complex fermionic degrees of freedom. These models can be described off shell by N = 2 superfields (so that only half…

A super-modular category is a unitary pre-modular category with M\"uger center equivalent to the symmetric unitary category of super-vector spaces. Super-modular categories are important alternatives to modular categories as any unitary…

For general N=5 and N=6 superconformal field theories in three dimensions, we compute the three-point correlation functions of the supercurrent multiplets. In each case, N=5 and N=6, the functional form of this correlator is uniquely fixed…
