We present a trace formula for an index over the spectrum of four dimensional superconformal field theories on $S^3 \times $ time. Our index receives contributions from states invariant under at least one supercharge and captures all…
We derive an integral representation for the superconformal index of the strongly-coupled N=2 superconformal field theory with E_6 flavor symmetry. The explicit expression of the index allows highly non-trivial checks of Argyres-Seiberg…
For Green-Schwarz superstring sigma-model on curved backgrounds, we introduce a non-metric measure $\Phi \equiv \epsilon^{i j} \epsilon^{I J} (\partial_i \varphi^I) (\partial_j \varphi^J)$ with two scalars $\varphi^I (I = 1, 2)$ used in Two…
We provide a general formula for the partition function of three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theories placed on $S^2 \times S^1$ with a topological twist along $S^2$, which can be interpreted as an index for chiral states of the…
We introduce a generalization of the S^2 x S^1 superconformal index where background gauge fields with magnetic flux are coupled to the global symmetries of the theory. This allows one to gauge a global symmetry at the level of the index,…
The Hilbert spaces of supersymmetric systems admit symmetries which are often related to the topology and geometry of the (target) field-space. Here, we study certain (2,2)-supersymmetric systems in 2-dimensional spacetime which are closely…
We study $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supersymmetric gauge theories on $\mathbb{RP}^2 \times \mathbb{S}^1$ and compute the superconformal index by using the localization technique. We consider not only the round real projective plane $\mathbb{RP}^2$…
We present the supersymmetric completion of the M-theory free differential algebra resulting from a compactification to four dimensions on a twisted seven-torus with 4-form and 7-form fluxes turned on. The super--curvatures are given and…
Given an algebraic hypersurface $H=f^{-1}(0)$ in $(\mathbb{C}^*)^n$, homological mirror symmetry relates the wrapped Fukaya category of $H$ to the derived category of singularities of the mirror Landau-Ginzburg model. We propose an enriched…
We demonstrate the existence of topological superconductors (SC) protected by mirror and time reversal (TR) symmetries. D-dimensional (D=1,2,3) crystalline SCs are characterized by 2^(D-1) independent integer topological invariants, which…
The exact solution of $N=2$ supersymmetric $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory is studied in the framework of the Whitham hierarchies. The solution is identified with a homogeneous solution of a Whitham hierarchy. This integrable hierarchy…
The higher-order superintegrability of the Tremblay-Turbiner-Winternitz system (related to the harmonic oscillator) is studied on the two-dimensional spherical and hiperbolic spaces, $S_\k^2$ ($\k>0$), and $H_{\k}^2$ ($\k<0$). The curvature…
In this paper we discuss the relation between the functions that give first integrals of full symmetric Toda system (an important Hamilton system on the space of traceless real symmetric matrices) and the vector fields on the group of…
Inspired by recent work by Closset, Kim and Willett, we derive a new formula for the superconformal (or supersymmetric) index of 4d N=1 theories. Such a formula is a finite sum, over the solution set of certain transcendental equations that…
We show that in one dimension the transfer matrix M of any scattering potential v coincides with the S-matrix of an associated time-dependent non-Hermitian 2 x 2 matrix Hamiltonian H(\tau). If v is real-valued, H(\tau) is pseudo-Hermitian…
We demonstrate the existence of a novel set of discrete symmetries in the context of N = 2 supersymmetric (SUSY) quantum mechanical model with a potential function f(x) that is a generalization of the potential of the 1D SUSY harmonic…
We present a detailed study of D-brane superpotentials depending on several open and closed-string deformations. The relative cohomology group associated with the brane defines a generalized hypergeometric GKZ system which determines the…
We develop techniques to calculate an index for four dimensional superconformal field theories. This superconformal index is counting BPS operators which preserve only one supercharge. To calculate the superconformal index we quantize the…
We present a theory of the superfluid weight in multiband attractive Hubbard models within the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) mean field framework. We show how to separate the geometric contribution to the superfluid weight from the…
The Gauss-Bonnet Theorem is studied for edge metrics as a renormalized index theorem. These metrics include the Poincar\'e-Einstein metrics of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Renormalization is used to make sense of the curvature integral and…
