Four-dimensional Chern–Simons theory and integrable field theories

S Lacroix - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
These lecture notes concern the semi-holomorphic 4D Chern–Simons theory and its
applications to classical integrable field theories in 2D and in particular integrable sigma …

Flag manifold sigma models: spin chains and integrable theories

I Affleck, D Bykov, K Wamer - Physics Reports, 2022 - Elsevier
This review is dedicated to two-dimensional sigma models with flag manifold target spaces,
which are generalizations of the familiar CP n− 1 and Grassmannian models. They naturally …

Gauge theory and integrability, II

K Costello, E Witten, M Yamazaki - arxiv preprint arxiv:1802.01579, 2018 - arxiv.org
Starting with a four-dimensional gauge theory approach to rational, elliptic, and
trigonometric solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation, we determine the corresponding …

Gauge theory and integrability, III

K Costello, M Yamazaki - arxiv preprint arxiv:1908.02289, 2019 - arxiv.org
We study two-dimensional integrable field theories from the viewpoint of the four-
dimensional Chern-Simons-type gauge theory introduced recently. The integrable field …

Boundary chiral algebras and holomorphic twists

K Costello, T Dimofte, D Gaiotto - Communications in Mathematical …, 2023 - Springer
We study the holomorphic twist of 3d N= 2 gauge theories in the presence of boundaries,
and the algebraic structure of bulk and boundary local operators. In the holomorphic twist …

Quantizing the non-linear graviton

R Bittleston, D Skinner, A Sharma - Communications in Mathematical …, 2023 - Springer
We consider holomorphic Poisson-BF theory on twistor space. Classically, this describes
self-dual Einstein gravity on space-time, but at the quantum level it is plagued by an …

Quiver Yangian from crystal melting

W Li, M Yamazaki - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We find a new infinite class of infinite-dimensional algebras acting on BPS states
for non-compact toric Calabi-Yau threefolds. In Type IIA superstring compactification on a …

Twisted Supergravity and Koszul Duality: A Case Study in AdS

K Costello, NM Paquette - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2021 - Springer
In this note, we study a simplified variant of the familiar holographic duality between
supergravity on AdS _3 * S^ 3 * T^ 4 AdS 3× S 3× T 4 and the SCFT (on the moduli space of) …

Introduction to classical and quantum integrability

AL Retore - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
In these lecture notes we aim for a pedagogical introduction to both classical and quantum
integrability. Starting from Liouville integrability and passing through Lax pair and r-matrix …

5d 2-Chern-Simons theory and 3d integrable field theories

A Schenkel, B Vicedo - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2024 - Springer
The 4-dimensional semi-holomorphic Chern-Simons theory of Costello and Yamazaki
provides a gauge-theoretic origin for the Lax connection of 2-dimensional integrable field …
