Quantum exponentials for the modular double and applications in gravity models

TG Mertens - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract In this note, we propose a decomposition of the quantum matrix group\({\textrm

3d-3d correspondence revisited

HJ Chung, T Dimofte, S Gukov, P Sułkowski - Journal of High Energy …, 2016 - Springer
A bstract In fivebrane compactifications on 3-manifolds, we point out the importance of all flat

Large N phase transition in -deformed 2d Yang-Mills theory on the sphere

L Santilli, M Tierz - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 - Springer
A bstract We study the partition function of a\(T\overline {T}\)-deformed version of Yang-Mills
theory on the two-sphere. We show that the Douglas-Kazakov phase transition persists for a …

Five-dimensional cohomological localization and squashed q-deformations of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory

L Santilli, RJ Szabo, M Tierz - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We revisit the duality between five-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories
and deformations of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory from a new perspective. We give a …

Generalized and (qt)-deformed partition functions with W-representations and Nekrasov partition functions

F Liu, R Wang, J Yang, WZ Zhao - The European Physical Journal C, 2024 - Springer
We construct the generalized β and (q, t)-deformed partition functions through W
representations, where the expansions are respectively with respect to the generalized Jack …

On irregular singularity wave functions and superconformal indices

M Buican, T Nishinaka - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract We generalize, in a manifestly Weyl-invariant way, our previous expressions for
irregular singularity wave functions in two-dimensional SU (2) q-deformed Yang-Mills theory …

Global and local scaling limits for the Stieltjes–Wigert random matrix ensemble

PJ Forrester - Random Matrices: Theory and Applications, 2022 - World Scientific
The eigenvalue probability density function (PDF) for the Gaussian unitary ensemble has a
well-known analogy with the Boltzmann factor for a classical log-gas with pair potential− log …

Supersymmetric U(N) Chern–Simons-Matter Theory and Phase Transitions

JG Russo, GA Silva, M Tierz - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2015 - Springer
Abstract We study N= 2 N= 2 supersymmetric U (N) Chern–Simons with N_ f N f fundamental
and N_ f N f antifundamental chiral multiplets of mass m in the parameter space spanned by …

Torus knot polynomials and susy Wilson loops

G Giasemidis, M Tierz - Letters in Mathematical Physics, 2014 - Springer
We give, using an explicit expression obtained in (Jones V, Ann Math 126: 335, 1987), a
basic hypergeometric representation of the HOMFLY polynomial of (n, m) torus knots, and …
