Conformal Quantum Mechanics, Holomorphic Factorisation, and Ultra-Spinning Black Holes

Nick Dorey, Rishi Mouland

We study a limit in which a relativistic CFT reduces to conformal quantum mechanics, and relate the partition functions of the two theories. When the initial CFT is holographic, ou…

Superconformal Quantum Mechanics and Growth of Sheaf Cohomology

Nick Dorey, Boan Zhao

We give a geometric interpretation for superconformal quantum mechanics defined on a hyper-Kahler cone which has an equivariant symplectic resolution. BPS states are identified wit…

Black Hole Entropy from Quantum Mechanics

Nick Dorey, Rishi Mouland, Boan Zhao

We provide evidence for a holographic duality between superconformal quantum mechanics on the moduli space of Yang-Mills instantons and M-theory in certain asymptotically $AdS_{7}\…

Blocks and Vortices in the 3d ADHM Quiver Gauge Theory

Samuel Crew, Nick Dorey, Daniel Zhang

We study the hemisphere partition function of a three-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory with one adjoint and one fundamental hypermultiplet -- the ADHM…

Factorisation of 3d Twisted Indices and the Geometry of Vortex Moduli Space

Samuel Crew, Nick Dorey, Daniel Zhang

We study the twisted indices of supersymmetric gauge theories in three dimensions on spatial with an angular momentum refinement. We demonstrate factorisati…

Superconformal Quantum Mechanics on Kähler Cones

Nick Dorey, Daniel Zhang

We consider supersymmetric quantum mechanics on a Kähler cone, regulated via a suitable resolution of the conical singularity. The unresolved space has a supe…
