Supersymmetry and trace formulas III. Frenkel trace formula

Changha Choi, Leon A. Takhtajan

By applying the new supersymmetric localization principle introduced in \cite{Choi:2021yuz,Choi:2023pjn}, we present two complementary approaches for the path integral derivation o…

Supersymmetry and trace formulas II. Selberg trace formula

Changha Choi, Leon A. Takhtajan

By extending the new supersymmetric localization principle introduced in \cite{Choi:2021yuz}, we present a path integral derivation of the Selberg trace formula on arbitrary compac…

Worldline Localization

Changha Choi, Leon A. Takhtajan

We show that two elementary worldline path integrals-the thermal partition function of the harmonic oscillator and the one-loop effective action of scalar QED in a constant field s…

Global Anomalies in Sigma Models with Majorana--Weyl Fermions

Changha Choi

We investigate a global sigma model anomaly in two-dimensional sigma models with Majorana--Weyl fermions coupled to a sigma model field with target space~. The anomaly originate…

Supersymmetry and trace formulas I. Compact Lie groups

Changha Choi, Leon A. Takhtajan

In the context of supersymmetric quantum mechanics we formulate new supersymmetric localization principle, with application to trace formulas for a full thermal partition function.…

Surface Operators and Exact Holography

Changha Choi, Jaume Gomis, Raquel Izquierdo García

Surface operators are nonlocal probes of gauge theories capable of distinguishing phases that are not discernible by the classic Wilson-'t Hooft criterion. We prove that the correl…
