Raviolo vertex algebras
Niklas Garner, Brian R. Williams
We develop an algebraic structure modeling local operators in a three-dimensional quantum field theory which is partially holomorphic and partially topological. The geometric space…
Semi-Chiral Operators in 4d Gauge Theories
Kasia Budzik, Davide Gaiotto, Justin Kulp +3
We discuss the properties of quarter-BPS local operators in four dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory using the formalism of holomorphic twists. We study loop…
A holographic approach to the six-dimensional superconformal index
Surya Raghavendran, Brian R. Williams
We present a conjectural description of the space of local operators on a stack of finitely many fivebranes in theory at the level of the holomorphic twist. Our approach is thr…
Twisted eleven-dimensional supergravity
Surya Raghavendran, Ingmar Saberi, Brian R. Williams
We construct a fully interacting holomorphic/topological theory in eleven dimensions that is defined on products of Calabi-Yau fivefolds with real one-manifolds. The theory describ…
Perspectives on the pure spinor superfield formalism
Richard Eager, Fabian Hahner, Ingmar Saberi +1
In this note, we study, formalize, and generalize the pure spinor superfield formalism from a rather nontraditional perspective. To set the stage, we review the notion of a multipl…
Twisted heterotic/type I duality
Kevin Costello, Brian R. Williams
We formulate a twisted version of the conjectured duality between heterotic and type I string theories. Our formulation relates the chiral part of the heterotic string with a type…
