Quiver superconformal index and giant gravitons: asymptotics and expansions

Souradeep Purkayastha, Zishen Qu, Ali Zahabi

We study asymptotics of the , superconformal index for toric quiver gauge theories. Using graph-theoretic and algebraic factorization techniques, we obtain a c…

The 4-fold Pandharipande--Thomas vertex and Jeffrey--Kirwan residue

Taro Kimura, Go Noshita

We present a contour integral formalism for computing the K-theoretic equivariant Pandharipande--Thomas (PT) 4-vertex. Within the Jeffrey--Kirwan (JK) residue framework, we show th…

Gauge origami and quiver W-algebras IV: Pandharipande--Thomas -characters

Taro Kimura, Go Noshita

We develop a contour integral formalism for computing the K-theoretic equivariant 3-vertex. Within the Jeffrey--Kirwan (JK) residue framework, we show that, by an appropriate choic…

Surface Defects in -type Little String Theories

Baptiste Filoche, Stefan Hohenegger, Taro Kimura

-type Little String Theories (LSTs) are engineered from parallel M5-branes on a circle , probing a transverse background. Below t…

Gauge origami and quiver W-algebras III: Donaldson--Thomas -characters

Taro Kimura, Go Noshita

We further develop the BPS/CFT correspondence between quiver W-algebras/-characters and partition functions of gauge origami. We introduce -characters associated with multi…

Seiberg-Witten curves of -type Little Strings

Baptiste Filoche, Stefan Hohenegger, Taro Kimura

Little Strings are a type of non-gravitational quantum theories that contain extended degrees of freedom, but behave like ordinary Quantum Field Theories at low energies. A particu…
