The Gaiotto-Kim Trace Formula and Line Defects

Sungjoon Kim, Spencer Stubbs

We study the insertion of 4d half-BPS line defects into the trace formula proposed by Gaiotto and Kim, which computes the ellipsoid partition function of the 3d topological quantum…

Three-dimensional TQFTs from Argyres--Douglas theories via the 3d/3d correspondence

Cyril Closset, Adam Keyes, Sungjoon Kim

We study the twisted dimensional reduction of 4d Argyres--Douglas theories via the 3d/3d correspondence, focussing on theories realised as the class…

3d 4 rank-0 SCFT from punctured lens space

Sungjoon Kim

{\it Gang-Kim-Stubbs} theory --- a pioneering 3d bulk description of Virasoro minimal model as rank-0 superconformal field theory upon t…

Classification of monopole deformed 3d Seiberg-like duality with an adjoint matter

Qiang Jia, Sungjoon Kim

We propose a new 3d Seiberg-like duality of adjoint SQCD(Kim-Park duality) with linear monopole superpotential terms which encompasses known monopole deformed Kim-P…

From BPS Spectra of Argyres-Douglas Theories to Families of 3d TFTs

Byeonggi Go, Qiang Jia, Heeyeon Kim +1

Vertex operator algebras (VOAs) arise in protected subsectors of supersymmetric quantum field theories, notably in 4d superconformal field theories (SCFT) via the…

S-confinement of 3d Argyres-Douglas theories and the Seiberg-like duality with an adjoint matter

Chiung Hwang, Sungjoon Kim

We propose an preserving deformation that leads to the confining phase of the 3d reduction of the Argyres-Douglas theories, referred to as $\mathbb{D}_…
