On the deformation theory of chiral quantizations

Dylan Butson, Sujay Nair

We give an operadic approach to deformation quantization of vertex Poisson algebras, a chiral analogue of the traditional problem of deformation quantization of Poisson algebras. O…

Inverse Hamiltonian reduction for affine W-algebras in type A

Dylan Butson, Sujay Nair

We give a geometric proof of inverse Hamiltonian reduction for all affine W-algebras in type A at generic level, a certain embedding of the affine W-algebra corresponding to an arb…

Inverse Hamiltonian reduction in type A and generalized slices in the affine Grassmannian

Dylan Butson, Sujay Nair

We give a geometric proof of inverse Hamiltonian reduction for all finite W-algebras in type , a certain embedding of the finite W-algebra corresponding to an arbitrary nilpoten…

Vertex algebras from divisors on Calabi-Yau threefolds

Dylan Butson

We construct vertex algebras from divisors on toric Calabi-Yau threefolds , satisfying conjectures of Gaiotto-Rapcak and Feigin-Gukov, as the kernel of scr…

Perverse coherent extensions on Calabi-Yau threefolds and representations of cohomological Hall algebras

Dylan Butson, Miroslav Rapcak

For a toric Calabi-Yau threefold resolution and $M\in \DD^b\Coh(Y)^T$ satisfying some hypotheses, we define a stack $\mf M(Y,M)$ parameterizing \emph{perverse coherent ext…

Equivariant localization in factorization homology and applications in mathematical physics I: Foundations

Dylan Butson

We develop a theory of equivariant factorization algebras on varieties with an action of a connected algebraic group , extending the definitions of Francis-Gaitsgory [FG] and Be…

Equivariant localization in factorization homology and applications in mathematical physics II: Gauge theory applications

Dylan Butson

We give an account of the theory of factorization spaces, categories, functors, and algebras, following the approach of [Ras1]. We apply these results to give geometric constructio…

Degenerate Classical Field Theories and Boundary Theories

Dylan Butson, Philsang Yoo

We introduce a framework for degenerate classical field theories in the BV formalism, which allows us to discuss many interesting examples of theories which do not admit a Lagrangi…
