Quantum difference equation for Nakajima varieties

A Okounkov, A Smirnov - Inventiones mathematicae, 2022 - Springer
For an arbitrary Nakajima quiver variety X, we construct an analog of the quantum dynamical
Weyl group acting in its equivariant K-theory. The correct generalization of the Weyl group …

Mirror symmetry and line operators

T Dimofte, N Garner, M Geracie, J Hilburn - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We study half-BPS line operators in 3d\(\mathcal {N}\)= 4 gauge theories, focusing
in particular on the algebras of local operators at their junctions. It is known that there are …

BPS/CFT correspondence IV: sigma models and defects in gauge theory

N Nekrasov - Letters in Mathematical Physics, 2019 - Springer
Quantum field theory L_1 L 1 on spacetime X_ 1 X 1 can be coupled to another quantum

Interfaces and quantum algebras, II: cigar partition function

M Dedushenko, N Nekrasov - arxiv preprint arxiv:2306.16434, 2023 - arxiv.org
The supersymmetric cigar (half-) index or cigar partition function of 3d $\mathcal {N}= 2$
gauge theories contains a wealth of information. Physically, it captures the spectrum of BPS …

Grothendieck lines in 3d = 2 SQCD and the quantum K-theory of the Grassmannian

C Closset, O Khlaif - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We revisit the 3d GLSM computation of the equivariant quantum K-theory ring of
the complex Grassmannian from the perspective of line defects. The 3d GLSM onto X= Gr (N …

Quasimaps to quivers with potentials

Y Cao, G Zhao - arxiv preprint arxiv:2306.01302, 2023 - arxiv.org
This paper is concerned with a non-compact GIT quotient of a vector space, in the presence
of an abelian group action and an equivariant regular function (potential) on the quotient …

Unification of integrability in supersymmetric gauge theories

K Costello, J Yagi - arxiv preprint arxiv:1810.01970, 2018 - arxiv.org
A four-dimensional analog of Chern-Simons theory produces integrable lattice models from
Wilson lines and surface operators. We show that this theory describes a quasi-topological …

Let $ X $ be a holomorphic symplectic variety with a torus $\mathsf {T} $ action and a finite
fixed point set of cardinality $ k $. We assume that elliptic stable envelope exists for $ X …

Quantum K theory of symplectic Grassmannians

W Gu, L Mihalcea, E Sharpe, H Zou - Journal of Geometry and Physics, 2022 - Elsevier
In this paper we discuss physical derivations of the quantum K theory rings of symplectic
Grassmannians. We compare to standard presentations in terms of Schubert cycles, but …

Higgsed network calculus

Y Zenkevich - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We introduce a formalism for describing holomorphic blocks of 3d quiver gauge
theories using networks of Ding-Iohara-Miki algebra intertwiners. Our approach is very direct …
