We consider the Chern-Simons theory with Wilson lines in 3D and in 1D in the BV-BFV formalism of Cattaneo-Mnev-Reshetikhin. In particular, we allow for Wilson lines to end on the boundary of the space-time manifold. In the toy model of 1D…
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 consider abstract second order systems of the form $\ddot{x}(t) + D \dot{x}(t) + Sx(t)=0$, which are typically analyzed via the operator matrix $\mathcal{A}=\left[\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & I \\ -S & -D \end{smallmatrix}\right]$ governing…
