We develop new techniques for computing exact correlation functions of a class of local operators, including certain monopole operators, in three-dimensional $\mathcal{N} = 4$ abelian gauge theories that have superconformal infrared limits.…
We study the Coulomb-branch sector of 3D $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauge theories with half-hypermultiplets in general pseudoreal representations $\mathbf{R}$ ("noncotangent" theories). This yields (short) quantization of the Coulomb branch and…
We study the Coulomb branches of 3d N=4 `star-shaped' quiver gauge theories and their deformation quantizations, by applying algebraic techniques that have been developed in the mathematics and physics literature over the last few years.…
Consider the $3$-dimensional $\mathcal N=4$ supersymmetric gauge theory associated with a compact Lie group $G$ and its quaternionic representation $\mathbf M$. Physicists study its Coulomb branch, which is a noncompact hyper-K\"ahler…
The Coulomb branch of 3-dimensional N=4 gauge theories is the space of bare and dressed BPS monopole operators. We utilise the conformal dimension to define a fan which, upon intersection with the weight lattice of a GNO-dual group, gives…
We develop a new method for constructing $3d$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ Coulomb branch chiral rings in terms of gauge-invariant generators and relations while making the global symmetry manifest. Our examples generalise to all balanced quivers of…
We study Coulomb branch moduli spaces of a class of three dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauge theories whose quiver satisfies the balance condition. The Coulomb branch is described by dressed monopole operators which can be counted using the…
We propose a construction of the Coulomb branch of a $3d\ {\mathcal N}=4$ gauge theory corresponding to a choice of a connected reductive group $G$ and a symplectic finite-dimensional reprsentation $\mathbf M$ of $G$, satisfying certain…
This paper addresses a long standing problem - to identify the chiral ring and moduli space (i.e. as an algebraic variety) on the Coulomb branch of an N = 4 superconformal field theory in 2+1 dimensions. Previous techniques involved a…
The Higgs branch of minimally supersymmetric five dimensional SQCD theories increases in a significant way at the UV fixed point when the inverse gauge coupling is tuned to zero. It has been a long standing problem to figure out how, and to…
Consider the $3$-dimensional $\mathcal N=4$ supersymmetric gauge theory associated with a compact Lie group $G_c$ and its quaternionic representation $\mathbf M$. Physicists study its Coulomb branch, which is a noncompact hyper-K\"ahler…
For a 3D N=4 gauge theory, turning on the $\Omega$-background in RxR$^2_{\epsilon}$ deforms the Coulomb branch chiral ring into the quantum Coulomb branch algebra, generated by the 1/2-BPS monopoles together with the complex scalar in the…
Using ideas from the gauge theory approach to the geometric Langlands program, we revisit supersymmetric localization with monopole operators in 3d $\mathcal{N} = 4$ supersymmetric gauge theories subject to $\Omega$-deformation. The key…
This is an introduction to a provisional mathematical definition of Coulomb branches of $3$-dimensional $\mathcal N=4$ supersymmetric gauge theories, studied in arXiv:1503.03676, arXiv:1601.03586
According to the proposal of Hanany and Witten, Coulomb branches of N=4 SU(n) gauge theories in three dimensions are isometric to moduli spaces of BPS monopoles. We generalize this proposal to gauge theories with matter, which allows us to…
We study two types of discrete operations on Coulomb branches of $3d$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ quiver gauge theories using both abelianisation and the monopole formula. We generalise previous work on discrete quotients of Coulomb branches and…
This is an introduction to a provisional mathematical definition of Coulomb branches of $3$-dimensional $\mathcal N=4$ supersymmetric gauge theories, studied in arXiv:1503.03676, arXiv:1601.03586. This is an expanded version of an article…
We perform SUSY localization for Coulomb branch operators of 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauge theories in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with $\Omega$-deformation. For the dressed monopole operators whose expectation values do not involve non-perturbative…
These are (somewhat informal) lectures notes for the CIME summer school "Geometric Representation Theory and Gauge Theory" in June 2018. In these notes we review the results and constructions of a series of our joint papers with H.Nakajima…
To date, the best effort made to simply determine the Coulomb branch global symmetry of a theory from a $3d$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ quiver is by applying an algorithm based on its balanced gauge nodes. This often gives the full global symmetry,…
