Tangles, Generalized Reidemeister Moves, and Three-Dimensional Mirror Symmetry
Clay Cordova, Sam Espahbodi, Babak Haghighat +2
Three-dimensional N=2 superconformal field theories are constructed by compactifying M5-branes on three-manifolds. In the infrared the branes recombine, and the physics is captured…

Superconformal Partition Functions and Non-perturbative Topological Strings
Guglielmo Lockhart, Cumrun Vafa
We propose a non-perturbative definition for refined topological strings. This can be used to compute the partition function of superconformal theories in 5 dimensions on squashed…

Supersymmetric Partition Functions and a String Theory in 4 Dimensions
Cumrun Vafa
We propose a novel string theory propagating in a non-commutative deformation of the four dimensional space T* T^2 whose scattering states correspond to superconformal theories in…
