G Bonelli, C Iossa, DP Lichtig, A Tanzini - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We give explicit expressions for the finite frequency greybody factor, quasinormal modes,
and Love numbers of Kerr black holes by computing the exact connection coefficients of the …

Black hole quasinormal modes and Seiberg–Witten theory

G Aminov, A Grassi, Y Hatsuda - Annales Henri Poincare, 2022 - Springer
We present new analytic results on black hole perturbation theory. Our results are based on
a novel relation to four-dimensional N= 2 N= 2 supersymmetric gauge theories. We propose …

Non-perturbative approaches to the quantum Seiberg-Witten curve

We examine two types of half-BPS surface defects $-$ regular monodromy surface defect
and canonical surface defect $-$ in four-dimensional gauge theory with $\mathcal {N}= 2 …

Quantum curves and q-deformed Painlevé equations

G Bonelli, A Grassi, A Tanzini - Letters in Mathematical Physics, 2019 - Springer
We propose that the grand canonical topological string partition functions satisfy finite-
difference equations in the closed string moduli. In the case of genus one mirror curve, these …

Exponential networks, WKB and topological string

A Grassi, Q Hao, A Neitzke - SIGMA. Symmetry, Integrability and …, 2023 - emis.de
We propose a connection between 3d-5d exponential networks and exact WKB for
difference equations associated to five dimensional Seiberg-Witten curves, or equivalently …

Blowups in BPS/CFT correspondence, and Painlevé VI

N Nekrasov - Annales Henri Poincare, 2024 - Springer
We study four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory in the presence of surface and
point-like defects (blowups) and propose an identity relating partition functions at different …

Holomorphic anomaly and quantum mechanics

We show that the all-orders WKB periods of one-dimensional quantum mechanical
oscillators are governed by the refined holomorphic anomaly equations of topological string …
