One-Dimensional Sectors From the Squashed Three-Sphere
Pieter Bomans, Silviu Pufu
Three-dimensional superconformal field theories contain 1d topological sectors consisting of twisted linear combinations of half-BPS local operators that can be i…
The Prepotential and the Sphere Free Energy
Bernardo Zan, Daniel Z. Freedman, Silviu S. Pufu
We study the mass-deformed sphere free energy of three-dimensional superconformal field theories with holographic duals. Building on previous observations, we con…
Bootstrapping super-Yang-Mills on the conformal manifold
Shai M. Chester, Ross Dempsey, Silviu S. Pufu
We combine supersymmetric localization results with numerical bootstrap techniques to compute upper bounds on the low-lying CFT data of super-Yang-Mills theory as a…
The Holographic Contributions to the Sphere Free Energy
Damon J. Binder, Daniel Z. Freedman, Silviu S. Pufu +1
We study which bulk couplings contribute to the free energy of three-dimensional superconformal field theories with holographic duals, potent…
Exact Symmetries and Threshold States in Two-Dimensional Models for QCD
Ross Dempsey, Igor R. Klebanov, Silviu S. Pufu
Two-dimensional SU gauge theory coupled to a Majorana fermion in the adjoint representation is a nice toy model for higher-dimensional gauge dynamics. It possesses a multitude…
