W-algebras of the Deligne-Cvitanović Exceptional series and the minimal 3d SCFT

Thomas Creutzig, Niklas Garner, Byeonggi Go +1

We propose a three-dimensional field theory construction that realizes the vertex algebras associated with the intermediate Lie algebras and the related -cofinite minimal -…

Macdonald index from 3d TQFT

Heeyeon Kim, Hongseok Kim, Jaewon Song

We propose a new fermionic sum formula for the Macdonald index of a class of Argyres-Douglas theories. The formula arises naturally from a three-dimensional topological field theor…

A Family of Vertex Algebras from Argyres-Douglas Theory

Heeyeon Kim, Jaewon Song

We find that multiple vertex algebras can arise from a single 4d superconformal field theory (SCFT). The connection is given by the BPS monodromy operator , whic…

Mirror Symmetry and Level-rank Duality for 3d Rank 0 SCFTs

Thomas Creutzig, Niklas Garner, Heeyeon Kim

We introduce a family of 3d superconformal field theories that have zero-dimensional Coulomb and Higgs branches and propose that the rational vertex operator alge…

Three Dimensional Topological Field Theories and Nahm Sum Formulas

Dongmin Gang, Heeyeon Kim, Byoungyoon Park +1

It is known that a large class of characters of 2d conformal field theories (CFTs) can be written in the form of a Nahm sum. In \cite{Zagier:2007knq}, D. Zagier identified a list o…

Path Integral Derivations Of K-Theoretic Donaldson Invariants

Heeyeon Kim, Jan Manschot, Gregory W. Moore +2

We consider 5d SU(2) super Yang-Mills theory on , with a closed smooth four-manifold. A partial topological twisting along renders the theory f…
