Superconformal index of large N and long quivers

Mohammad Akhond, Leonardo Santilli

We develop a universal framework for computing generating functions in quiver gauge theories in the large limit. We apply this method to the superconformal index of 4d $\mathca…

Twisted traces and quantization of moduli stacks of 3d Chern-Simons-matter theories

Leonardo Santilli

We conjecture, and show in a plethora of examples, that the sphere partition function of 3d Chern-Simons-matter theories equals a sum of twisted traces on tensor pr…

Non-commutative resolutions and pre-quotients of Calabi-Yau double covers

Tsung-Ju Lee, Bong H. Lian, Mauricio Romo +1

Following an earlier proposal arXiv:2307.02038 to apply the GLSM formalism to understand the so-called non-commutative resolution, this paper takes one important step further to ex…

Large limits of supersymmetric quantum field theories: A pedagogical overview

Leonardo Santilli

The different large limits of supersymmetric quantum field theories in three, four, and five dimensions are reviewed. We distinguish between the planar limit of SQCD theories,…

(-1)-form symmetries from M-theory and SymTFTs

Marwan Najjar, Leonardo Santilli, Yi-Nan Wang

We explore -form symmetries within the framework of geometric engineering in M-theory. By constructing the Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SymTFT) for selected 5d $\mathca…

Higher form symmetries and orbifolds of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory

Leonardo Santilli, Richard J. Szabo

We undertake a detailed study of the gaugings of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory by its intrinsic charge conjugation 0-form and centre 1-form global symmetries, elucidating their…
