Interfaces and Quantum Algebras, II: Cigar Partition Function
Mykola Dedushenko, Nikita Nekrasov
The supersymmetric cigar (half-)index or cigar partition function of 3d gauge theories contains a wealth of information. Physically, it captures the spectrum of BPS…
Parallel surface defects, Hecke operators, and quantum Hitchin system
Saebyeok Jeong, Norton Lee, Nikita Nekrasov
We examine two types of half-BPS surface defects regular monodromy surface defect and canonical surface defect in four-dimensional gauge theory with supersy…
Notes on instantons in topological field theory and beyond
E. Frenkel, A. Losev, N. Nekrasov
This is a brief summary of our studies of quantum field theories in a special limit in which the instantons are present, the anti-instantons are absent, and the perturbative correc…
S-duality and Topological Strings
N. Nekrasov, H. Ooguri, C. Vafa
In this paper we show how S-duality of type IIB superstrings leads to an S-duality relating A and B model topological strings on the same Calabi-Yau as had been conjectured recentl…
Quantum Foam and Topological Strings
A. Iqbal, N. Nekrasov, A. Okounkov +1
We find an interpretation of the recent connection found between topological strings on Calabi-Yau threefolds and crystal melting: Summing over statistical mechanical configuration…
Gromov-Witten theory and Donaldson-Thomas theory, I
D. Maulik, N. Nekrasov, A. Okounkov +1
We conjecture an equivalence between the Gromov-Witten theory of 3-folds and the holomorphic Chern-Simons theory of Donaldson-Thomas. For Calabi-Yau 3-folds, the equivalence is def…
