M2-brane partition functions and HD supergravity from equivariant volumes
Luca Cassia, Kiril Hristov
We use the results of our companion paper arXiv:2502.20444, which explores the equivariant generalization of the constant-map contribution in topological string theory on toric Cal…
Constant maps in equivariant topological strings and geometric modeling of fluxes
Luca Cassia, Kiril Hristov
We study the equivariant generalization of topological strings on toric manifolds, focusing in particular on defining the contributions of constant maps in the genus expansion of t…
Symplectic cuts and open/closed strings II
Luca Cassia, Pietro Longhi, Maxim Zabzine
In arXiv:2306.07329 we established a connection between symplectic cuts of Calabi-Yau threefolds and open topological strings, and used this to introduce an equivariant deformation…
-ensembles and higher genera Catalan numbers
Luca Cassia, Vera Posch, Maxim Zabzine
We propose formulas for the large expansion of the generating function of connected correlators of the -deformed Gaussian and Wishart-Laguerre matrix models. We show that ou…
Symplectic cuts and open/closed strings I
Luca Cassia, Pietro Longhi, Maxim Zabzine
This paper introduces a concrete relation between genus zero closed Gromov-Witten invariants of Calabi-Yau threefolds and genus zero open Gromov-Witten invariants of a Lagrangian $…
From equivariant volumes to equivariant periods
Luca Cassia, Nicolo Piazzalunga, Maxim Zabzine
We consider generalizations of equivariant volumes of abelian GIT quotients obtained as partition functions of 1d, 2d, and 3d supersymmetric GLSM on , and $D^2 \times S^…
On refined Chern-Simons and refined ABJ matrix models
Luca Cassia, Maxim Zabzine
We consider the matrix model of refined Chern-Simons theory on for the unknot. We derive a -difference operator whose insertion in the matrix integral reproduces an…
Virasoro constraints revisited
Luca Cassia, Rebecca Lodin, Maxim Zabzine
We revisit the Virasoro constraints and explore the relation to the Hirota bilinear equations. We furthermore investigate and provide the solution to non-homogeneous Virasoro const…
On matrix models and their -deformations
Luca Cassia, Rebecca Lodin, Maxim Zabzine
Motivated by the BPS/CFT correspondence, we explore the similarities between the classical -deformed Hermitean matrix model and the -deformed matrix models associated to 3d $…
From Exact Results to Gauge Dynamics on
Arash Arabi Ardehali, Luca Cassia, Yongchao Lü
We revisit the vacuum structure of the Intriligator-Seiberg-Shenker model on . Guided by the Cardy-like asymptotics of its Romelsberger inde…
Exact SUSY Wilson loops on from -Virasoro constraints
Luca Cassia, Rebecca Lodin, Aleksandr Popolitov +1
Using the ideas from the BPS/CFT correspondence, we give an explicit recursive formula for computing supersymmetric Wilson loop averages in 3d Yang-Mills-Chern-Simo…
Branes, partition functions and quadratic monopole superpotentials
Antonio Amariti, Luca Cassia, Ivan Garozzo +1
We obtain the brane setup describing 3d dualities for and SQCD with monopole superpotentials. This classification follows from a complete analy…
SQCD with antisymmetric: dualities and symmetry enhancements
Antonio Amariti, Luca Cassia
We study various aspects of the 4d/3d reduction of dualities involving gauge theories with fundamentals and one antisymmetric. We discuss the non…

Antonio Amariti, Luca Cassia, Silvia Penati
We derive a geometric formulation of the 2d central charge from infinite families of 4d superconformal field theories topologically twisted on constant curvat…
Surveying 4d SCFTs twisted on Riemann surfaces
Antonio Amariti, Luca Cassia, Silvia Penati
Within the framework of four dimensional conformal supergravity we consider supersymmetric theories generally twisted along the abelian subgroups of the R-sym…
