On bosonic vertex algebras associated with 3D reductions of Argyres-Douglas theories

Takahiro Nishinaka, Hikaru Sasaki

We study the bosonic VOA associated with the 3D abelian linear quiver gauge theories arising from compactifying 4D Argyres-Douglas theories of $(A_1…

Reduction of 4D SCFTs and Squashing Independence of ABJM Theories

Tomoki Nakanishi, Takahiro Nishinaka

We study the compactification of 4D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) on , focusing on the relation between the 4D superconformal index and 3D partition fu…

On the Nekrasov Partition Function of Gauged Argyres-Douglas Theories

Takuya Kimura, Takahiro Nishinaka

We study gauge theories coupled to theories with or without a fundamental hypermultiplet. For even , a formula for the contribution of to the Nek…

Spin Thresholds, RG Flows, and Minimality in 4D QFT

Matthew Buican, Hongliang Jiang, Takahiro Nishinaka

Long ago, Argyres and Douglas discovered a particularly simple interacting 4D superconformal field theory (SCFT) on the Coulomb branch of su…

Argyres-Douglas Theories, S-duality and AGT Correspondence

Takuya Kimura, Takahiro Nishinaka, Yuji Sugawara +1

We propose a Nekrasov-type formula for the instanton partition functions of four-dimensional N=2 U(2) gauge theories coupled to (A_1,D_{2n}) Argyres-Douglas theories. This is carri…

SYM, Argyres-Douglas Theories, and an Exact Graded Vector Space Isomorphism

Matthew Buican, Takahiro Nishinaka

In this first of two papers, we explain in detail the simplest example of a broader set of relations between apparently very different theories. Our example relates $\mathfrak{su}(…
