We show that the four-dimensional Chern-Simons theory studied by Costello, Witten and Yamazaki, is, with Nahm pole-type boundary conditions, dual to a boundary theory that is a three-dimensional analogue of Toda theory with a novel 3d…
We study S-dualities in analytically continued SL(2) Chern-Simons theory on a 3-manifold M. By realizing Chern-Simons theory via a compactification of a 6d five-brane theory on M, various objects and symmetries in Chern-Simons theory become…
Compactifying type $A_{N-1}$ 6d ${\cal N}{=}(2,0)$ supersymmetric CFT on a product manifold $M^4\times\Sigma^2=M^3\times\tilde{S}^1\times S^1\times{\cal I}$ either over $S^1$ or over $\tilde{S}^1$ leads to maximally supersymmetric 5d gauge…
We describe a compactification of the six-dimensional (2,0) theory on a four-sphere which gives rise to a two-dimensional Toda theory at long distances. This construction realizes chiral Toda fields as edge modes trapped near the poles of…
We propose a relation between the operator of S-duality (of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory in 3+1D) and a topological theory in one dimension lower. We construct the topological theory by compactifying N=4 super Yang-Mills on a circle with an…
We study three dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric Chern-Simons-Matter theories on the direct product of a circle and a two dimensional hemisphere ($S^1 \times D^2$) with specified boundary conditions by the method of localization.…
We perform a canonical and BRST analysis of a seven-dimensional Chern-Simons theory on a manifold with boundary. The main result is that the 7D theory induces for consistency a chiral two-form on the 6D boundary. We also comment on similar…
With the goal of building a concrete co-dimension one holographically dual field theory for four dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes (4d AFS) as a limit of AdS$_4$/CFT$_3$, we begin an investigation of 3d Chern-Simons matter (CSM)…
Integrable field theories in two dimensions are known to originate as defect theories of 4d Chern-Simons and as symmetry reductions of the 4d anti-self-dual Yang-Mills equations. Based on ideas of Costello, it has been proposed in work of…
We show that the approaches to integrable systems via 4d Chern-Simons theory and via symmetry reductions of the anti-self-dual Yang-Mills equations are closely related, at least classically. Following a suggestion of Kevin Costello, we…
By considering a (partial) topological twisting of supersymmetric Yang-Mills compactified on a 2d space with `t Hooft magnetic flux turned on we obtain a supersymmetric $\sigma$-model in 2 dimensions. For N=2 SYM this maps Donaldson…
We present and study a model of 4-dimensional higher Chern-Simons theory, special Chern-Simons (SCS) theory, instances of which have appeared in the string literature, whose symmetry is encoded in a skeletal semistrict Lie 2-algebra…
We study the approaches to two-dimensional integrable field theories via a six-dimensional(6D) holomorphic Chern-Simons theory defined on twistor space. Under symmetry reduction, it reduces to a four-dimensional Chern-Simons theory, while…
We propose 4 and 12 supersymmetric Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theories on $\mathrm{R\times CP^2}$ obtained by twisted $\mathrm{Z}_k$ moddings and dimensional reduction of the 6d (2,0) superconformal field theories on $\mathrm{R\times S^5}$.…
We consider the twisted N = 4 SYM on \Sigma \times S^2. In the limit that S^2 shrinks to zero size the four dimensional theory reduces to a two dimensional SYM theory. We compute the correlation functions of a set of BRST cohomology classes…
We provide a systematic way of dimensional reduction for $(4+2n)$-dimensional $U(N)$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theories ($n=0,1,2,3$) and their mixtures compactified on two-dimensional tori with background magnetic fluxes, which…
Geometric quantization of 2+1 dimensional pure Yang-Mills theory is studied with focusing on finite large scales. It is previously shown that (Yildirim, 2015, Int. J. Mod. Phys A, 30(7), 1550034), topologically massive Yang-Mills theory…
We argue that 6d N=(2,0) theory on S^1 x S^3 x C_2 reduces to the 2d q-deformed Yang-Mills on C_2 at finite area, as a small extension to the result of Gadde, Rastelli, Razamat and Yan. This is done by computing the partition function on…
We derive a novel two-field four-dimensional integrable field theory (IFT) from 6d holomorphic Chern-Simons theory on twistor space. The four-dimensional IFT depends on a skew-symmetric linear operator acting on a Lie algebra, and when this…
We study the six-dimensional (2,0) superconformal field theory on S^1 x S^2 x M via compactification to five dimensions, where M is a three-manifold. Twisted along M, the five-dimensional theory has a half of N = (2,2) supersymmetry on S^2,…
