On M2-, M5-, and D3-branes from 12d anomalies: an equivariant perspective on duality
Kiril Hristov, Pedro Vicente Marto
We revisit the twelve-dimensional anomaly polynomial that has long been known to govern M5-brane worldvolume theories, together with its more recently proposed D3-brane counterpart…
partition functions and Equivariant CY/CY correspondence from Quantum curves
Kiril Hristov, Naotaka Kubo, Yi Pang
We study the perturbative large- expansion of the round three-sphere partition function in a class of M2-brane theories, including flavored SYM and ABJM theories as well as more…
Indices of M5 and M2 branes at finite from equivariant volumes, and a new duality
Kiril Hristov
We study supersymmetric indices of the 6d theory of M5-branes on toric Sasaki-Einstein five-manifolds. Embedding the background into a local toric Calabi-Yau four-fold…
M2-brane partition functions and HD supergravity from equivariant volumes
Luca Cassia, Kiril Hristov
We use the results of our companion paper arXiv:2502.20444, which explores the equivariant generalization of the constant-map contribution in topological string theory on toric Cal…
Constant maps in equivariant topological strings and geometric modeling of fluxes
Luca Cassia, Kiril Hristov
We study the equivariant generalization of topological strings on toric manifolds, focusing in particular on defining the contributions of constant maps in the genus expansion of t…
Holographic origin of -maximization and higher-derivative AdS/CFT
Kiril Hristov, Saurish Khandelwal, Yi Pang +1
We develop a consistent partially off-shell framework for evaluating higher-derivative actions of five-dimensional gauged supergravity with abelian vector multiplets on…
