Bootstrapping bilinear relations of discrete Painlevé systems from 5d gauge theories
Minsung Kim, Xin Wang
We study tau-functions of elliptic and -Painlevé equations through their correspondence with 5d supersymmetric field theories. Defining tau-functions associa…

Probing Quantum Curves and Transitions in 5d SQFTs via Defects and Blowup Equations
Hee-Cheol Kim, Minsung Kim, Sung-Soo Kim +2
We investigate codimension-2 defect partition functions and quantum Seiberg-Witten curves in 5d rank-1 supersymmetric QFTs, including non-Lagrangian and Kaluza-Klein theories. Usin…

Spectra of BPS Strings in 6d Supergravity and the Swampland
Hirotaka Hayashi, Hee-Cheol Kim, Minsung Kim
We explore BPS strings in supergravity theories in six-dimensions and related Swampland Conjectures. We first propose a general modular ansatz for bootstrapping elliptic genera of…
