Macdonald Index from VOA and Graded Unitarity
Hongliang Jiang
The SCFT/VOA correspondence provides a powerful framework for studying 4d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) through the mathematical machinery of 2d vertex opera…
Time-reversal invariant TQFTs from self-mirror symmetric SCFTs
Hongliang Jiang
We establish a connection between three-dimensional self-mirror symmetric superconformal field theories (SCFTs) and time-reversal invariant topological quantum field…
3d Mirror Symmetry, TQFTs, and 't Hooft Anomaly Matching
Mahesh K. N. Balasubramanian, Anindya Banerjee, Matthew Buican +3
Any local unitary 3d superconformal field theory (SCFT) has a corresponding "universal" relevant deformation that takes it to a gapped phase. This deformation prese…
On co-dimension 2 defect anomalies in N=4 SYM and (2,0) theory via brane probes in AdS/CFT
Hongliang Jiang, Arkady A. Tseytlin
We consider a -BPS solution for a D3 brane probe in AdS that has world-volume geometry of AdS. It intersects the boundary over a surface…
Modularity in Argyres-Douglas Theories with
Hongliang Jiang
We consider a family of Argyres-Douglas theories, which are 4D strongly coupled superconformal field theories (SCFTs) but share many features with 4D …
