Higher-Rank Connections and Deformed Schrödinger Operators

Jonah Baerman, Alba Grassi, Giovanni Ravazzini

We study the connection problem for a class of linear differential equations of order closely related to the Baxter equation of the quantum Toda chain. The space of solutions i…

Large charge meets semiclassics in super Yang-Mills

Augustus Brown, Francesco Galvagno, Alba Grassi +2

We study the large-charge sector of super Yang-Mills theory (SYM) with gauge group by constructing a special class of half-BPS heavy operators, termed "cano…

On the open TS/ST correspondence

Matijn François, Alba Grassi

The topological string/spectral theory correspondence establishes a precise, non-perturbative duality between topological strings on local Calabi-Yau threefolds and the spectral th…

On quivers, spectral networks and black holes

Paolo Arnaudo, Alba Grassi, Qianyu Hao

It was recently found that connection coefficients of the Heun equation can be derived in closed form using crossing symmetry in two-dimensional Liouville theory via the Nekrasov-S…

Matrix models for extremal and integrated correlators of higher rank

Alba Grassi, Cristoforo Iossa

We study extremal and integrated correlators of half-BPS operators in four-dimensional SQCD and SYM with gauge group. We focus on the large…
