In this paper we discuss various $N=3$ SCFTs in 4 dimensions and in particular those which can be obtained as a discrete gauging of an $N=4$ SYM theories with non-simply laced groups. The main goal of the project was to compute the Coulomb…

We prove the equivalence of a class of generalised Schur partition functions $\mathcal Z_G(q;\alpha)$ of 4d $\mathcal N=2$ superconformal gauge theories to contour integral representations of vector-valued modular forms of the type that…

We study the superconformal index for the class of N=2 4d superconformal field theories recently introduced by Gaiotto. These theories are defined by compactifying the (2,0) 6d theory on a Riemann surface with punctures. We interpret the…

We propose an algebro-geometric interpretation of the Schur and Macdonald indices of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs). We conjecture that there exists an affine scheme $X$, which reduces to the Higgs…

By applying the recently proposed (3D rank-0 $\mathcal{N}$=4 SCFT)/(non-unitary TQFTs) correspondence to S-fold SCFTs, we construct an exotic class of non-unitary TQFTs labelled by an integer $k\geq 3$. The SCFTs are obtained by gauging…

We construct classes of ${\cal N}=1$ superconformal theories elements of which are labeled by punctured Riemann surfaces. Degenerations of the surfaces correspond, in some cases, to weak coupling limits. Different classes are labeled by two…

Recently, an intriguing correspondence was conjectured in arXiv:2409.11551 between Schur half-indices of pure 4d $SU(2)$ $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory with line operator insertions and partition functions of 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…

The additional data necessary to univocally fix the gauge group for a given algebra are represented by the same charge lattices of mutually local Wilson and 't Hooft lines for both 4d $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM and $\mathcal{N}=2$ elliptic models.…

A class of 4d $\mathcal{N}=3$ SCFTs can be obtained from gauging a discrete subgroup of the global symmetry group of $\mathcal{N}=4$ Super Yang-Mills theory. This discrete subgroup contains elements of both the $SU(4)$ R-symmetry group and…

We consider families of theories with large N=4 superconformal symmetry. We define an index generalizing the elliptic genus of theories with N=2 symmetry. In contrast to the N=2 case, the new index constrains part of the non-BPS spectrum.…

We discuss some of the analytic properties of lens space indices for 4d N=2 theories of class S. The S-duality properties of these theories highly constrain the lens space indices, and imply in particular that they are naturally acted upon…

We study the compactification of 4D $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM on $S^1$ from the viewpoint of the superconformal index. In the cases that the gauge group of the 4D SYM is $U(N)$ and $Usp(2N)$, the resulting 3D theory is believed to be the ABJM…
