A class of half-BPS boundary conditions for $A_{K - 1}$ circular quivers

Davide Bason, Roberto Valandro

We study a string-motivated class of $\frac{1}{2}$ -BPS boundary conditions for 4d $N = 2$ $A_{K - 1}$ circular quiver gauge theories, engineered by D4-branes suspended between NS…

Half-Spacetime Gauging of 2-Group Symmetry in 3d

Davide Bason, Wei Cui, Lorenzo Ruggeri

We construct a class of non-invertible duality defects, in (2+1)d quantum field theories, arising from half-spacetime gauging of a 2-group symmetry. Starting from a parent theory w…

F-theorem for Quantum Field Theories in Anti-de Sitter Space

Davide Bason, Christian Copetti, Lorenzo Di Pietro +2

We introduce a regularized free energy $F_{AdS}$ for massive quantum field theories (QFTs) on Anti-de Sitter space (AdS). We conjecture this quantity to be monoton…

BCFT One-point Functions of Coulomb Branch Operators

Davide Bason, Lorenzo Di Pietro, Roberto Valandro +1

We show that supersymmetry can be used to compute the BCFT one-point function coefficients for chiral primary operators, in 4d $N = 2$ SCFTs with $\frac{1}{2}$ -BPS boundary…

$N = 2$ Super Yang-Mills in AdS $_{4}$ and $F_{AdS}$ -maximization

Davide Bason, Christian Copetti, Lorenzo Di Pietro +1

We investigate the dynamics of four-dimensional $N = 2$ $S U (2)$ super Yang--Mills theory on an AdS background. We propose that the boundary conditions that preserve the AdS…
