Probing Quantum Curves and Transitions in 5d SQFTs via Defects and Blowup Equations
Hee-Cheol Kim, Minsung Kim, Sung-Soo Kim +2
We investigate codimension-2 defect partition functions and quantum Seiberg-Witten curves in 5d rank-1 supersymmetric QFTs, including non-Lagrangian and Kaluza-Klein theories. Usin…

Topological Vertex for Symmetric matter
Sung-Soo Kim, Xiaobin Li, Futoshi Yagi +1
We propose a novel topological vertex formalism for 5d SU() gauge theory with a hypermultiplet in the symmetric tensor representation, whose Type IIB brane const…

O-vertex, O7-plane, and Topological Vertex
Sung-Soo Kim, Xiaobin Li, Futoshi Yagi +1
We revisit the instanton partition function for 5d SO() gauge theories compactified on S, computed from the topological vertex formalism with the O-vertex ba…
