Degenerate chords in double-scaled SYK
Kazuo Hosomichi, Masayoshi Sato
The matter operator in the double-scaled SYK model exhibits special properties when its dimension is analytically continued to -1/2. At this dimension, the operator is in a degener…
Supersymmetric vortex loops in 3D gauge theories
Kazuo Hosomichi, Kohei Suzuki
We give a precise definition of BPS vortex loops in 3D non-abelian gauge theories with SUSY by the path integral over fields with a prescribed singular behavior. We co…
M2-branes and AdS/CFT: A Review
Kazuo Hosomichi
We briefly review some of the important developments in the last decade in the theory of multiple M2-branes and AdS4/CFT3 correspondence. Taking the examples of the superconformal…
Supersymmetric vortex defects in two dimensions
Kazuo Hosomichi, Sungjay Lee, Takuya Okuda
We study codimension-two BPS defects in 2d N=(2,2) supersymmetric gauge theories, focusing especially on those characterized by vortex-like singularities in the dynamical or non-dy…
N=2 SUSY gauge theories on S^4
Kazuo Hosomichi
We review exact results in N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories defined on S^4 and its deformation. We first summarize the construction of rigid SUSY theories on curved backgrounds ba…
Localization techniques in quantum field theories
Vasily Pestun, Maxim Zabzine, Francesco Benini +17
This is the foreword to the special volume on localization techniques in quantum field theory. We summarize the individual chapters and their relation.
