Crystal bases and three-dimensional Coulomb branches
Leonardo Santilli, Miguel Tierz
We establish and develop a correspondence between certain crystal bases (Kashiwara crystals) and the Coulomb branch of three-dimensional gauge theories. The resu…
Phases of five-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories
Leonardo Santilli
Five-dimensional theories with gauge group , , and are studied at large rank through localization on a large sphere. The phase diagra…
Multiple phases and meromorphic deformations of unitary matrix models
Leonardo Santilli, Miguel Tierz
We study a unitary matrix model with Gross-Witten-Wadia weight function and determinant insertions. After some exact evaluations, we characterize the intricate phase diagram. There…
-deformation of -Yang-Mills theory
Leonardo Santilli, Richard J. Szabo, Miguel Tierz
We derive the -perturbed version of two-dimensional -deformed Yang-Mills theory on an arbitrary Riemann surface by coupling the unperturbed theory in the first or…
Standard Model and 4-groups
Aleksandar Mikovic, Marko Vojinovic
We show that a categorical generalization of the the Poincaré symmetry which is based on the n-crossed modules becomes natural and simple when n=3 and that the corresponding 3-form…
Exact results and Schur expansions in quiver Chern-Simons-matter theories
Leonardo Santilli, Miguel Tierz
We study several quiver Chern-Simons-matter theories on the three-sphere, combining the matrix model formulation with a systematic use of Mordell's integral, computing partition fu…
Multiple phases in a generalized Gross-Witten-Wadia matrix model
Jorge G. Russo, Miguel Tierz
We study a unitary matrix model of the Gross-Witten-Wadia type, extended with the addition of characteristic polynomial insertions. The model interpolates between solvable unitary…
Five-dimensional cohomological localization and squashed -deformations of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory
Leonardo Santilli, Richard J. Szabo, Miguel Tierz
We revisit the duality between five-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories and deformations of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory from a new perspective. We give a unified treatm…
On and : phase transitions and integrability
Leonardo Santilli, Miguel Tierz
We study supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories on the three-sphere, with massive matter and Fayet-Iliopoulos parameter, showing second order phase transitions for the non-Abelian theo…
Matrix models for classical groups and ToeplitzHankel minors with applications to Chern-Simons theory and fermionic models
David García-García, Miguel Tierz
We study matrix integration over the classical Lie groups and , using symmetric function theory and the equivalent formulation in terms of determinants…
Large phase transition in -deformed Yang-Mills theory on the sphere
Leonardo Santilli, Miguel Tierz
We study the partition function of a -deformed version of Yang-Mills theory on the two-sphere. We show that the Douglas-Kazakov phase transition persists for a rang…
Phase transitions and Wilson loops in antisymmetric representations in Chern-Simons-matter theory
Leonardo Santilli, Miguel Tierz
We study the phase transitions of three-dimensional Chern-Simons theory on with a varied number of massive fundamental hypermultiplets and wit…
Complex (super)-matrix models with external sources and -ensembles of Chern-Simons and ABJ(M) type
Leonardo Santilli, Miguel Tierz
The Langmann-Szabo-Zarembo (LSZ) matrix model is a complex matrix model with a quartic interaction and two external matrices. The model appears in the study of a scalar field theor…
Wilson loops and free energies in SYM: exact results, exponential asymptotics and duality
Miguel Tierz
We show that supersymmetric gauge theories on with massive fundamental hypermultiplets and with a Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) term are solvabl…

Georgios Giasemidis, Miguel Tierz
We solve, for finite , the matrix model of supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory coupled to massive hypermultiplets of -charge , together with a Faye…
Critical behaviour for scalar nonlinear waves
Davide Masoero, Andrea Raimondo, Pedro R. S. Antunes
In the long-wave regime, nonlinear waves may undergo a phase transition from a smooth to a fast oscillatory behaviour. We study this phenomenon, commonly known as dispersive shock,…
Categorifying the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov Connection
Lucio S. Cirio, João Faria Martins
In the context of higher gauge theory, we construct a flat and fake flat 2-connection, in the configuration space of particles in the complex plane, categorifying the Knizhnik-…
Unitary Chern-Simons matrix model and the Villain lattice action
Mauricio Romo, Miguel Tierz
We use the Villain approximation to show that the Gross-Witten model, in the weak- and strong-coupling limits, is related to the unitary matrix model that describes U(N) Chern-Simo…
Two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory, Painleve equations and the six-vertex model
Richard J. Szabo, Miguel Tierz
We show that the chiral partition function of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on the sphere can be mapped to the partition function of the homogeneous six-vertex model with domai…
Noncommutative Black Holes and the Singularity Problem
C. Bastos, O. Bertolami, N. C. Dias +1
A phase-space noncommutativity in the context of a Kantowski-Sachs cosmological model is considered to study the interior of a Schwarzschild black hole. Due to the divergence of th…

We show that the partition functions which enumerate Donaldson-Thomas invariants of local toric Calabi-Yau threefolds without compact divisors can be expressed in terms of speciali…
Gauge strata and particle generations
R. Vilela Mendes
Phenomenological evidence suggests the existence of non-trivial background fields in the QCD vacuum. On the other hand SU(3) gauge theory possessses three different classes of both…
