Orbi-Instantons and Class Theories of Type D
Jiakang Bao, Noppadol Mekareeya, Gabi Zafrir +1
We investigate the landscape of 6d D-type orbi-instanton superconformal field theories (SCFTs) and their torus compactifications to four-dimensional class $\mat…
The Origin of Calabi-Yau Crystals in BPS States Counting
Jiakang Bao, Rak-Kyeong Seong, Masahito Yamazaki
We study the counting problem of BPS D-branes wrapping holomorphic cycles of a general toric Calabi-Yau manifold. We evaluate the Jeffrey-Kirwan residues for the flavoured Witten i…
Crystals and Double Quiver Algebras from Jeffrey-Kirwan Residues
Jiakang Bao, Masahito Yamazaki
We construct statistical mechanical models of crystal melting describing the flavoured Witten indices of supersymmetric quiver gauge theories. Our results can be…
Reflexions on Mahler: Dessins, Modularity and Gauge Theories
Jiakang Bao, Yang-Hui He, Ali Zahabi
We provide a unified framework of Mahler measure, dessins d'enfants, and gauge theory. With certain physically motivated Newton polynomials from reflexive polygons, the Mahler meas…
Futaki Invariants and Reflexive Polygons
Jiakang Bao, Eugene Choi, Yang-Hui He +2
Futaki invariants of the classical moduli space of 4d N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories determine whether they have a conformal fixed point in the IR. We systematically compute the…
