Aspects of defects in 3d-3d correspondence

D Gang, N Kim, M Romo, M Yamazaki - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract In this paper we study supersymmetric co-dimension 2 and 4 defects in the
compactification of the 6d (2, 0) theory of type AN− 1 on a 3-manifold M. The so-called 3d-3d …

Partition function of free conformal higher spin theory

M Beccaria, X Bekaert, AA Tseytlin - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer
A bstract We compute the canonical partition function\(\mathcal {Z}\) of non-interacting
conformal higher spin (CHS) theory viewed as a collection of free spin s CFT's in\(\mathbb …

Bose-Fermi cancellations without supersymmetry

A Cherman, M Shifman, M Ünsal - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We show that adjoint QCD features very strong Bose-Fermi cancellations in the large-N limit,
despite the fact that it is manifestly nonsupersymmetric. The difference between the bosonic …

Lens elliptic gamma function solution of the Yang–Baxter equation at roots of unity

AP Kels, M Yamazaki - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the root of unity limit of the lens elliptic gamma function solution of the star-triangle
relation, for an integrable model with continuous and discrete spin variables. This limit …

Bose-Fermi degeneracies in large N adjoint QCD

G Basar, A Cherman, D McGady - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015 - Springer
A bstract We analyze the large N limit of adjoint QCD, an SU (N) gauge theory with N f
flavors of massless adjoint Majorana fermions, compactified on S 3× S 1. We focus on the …

From Hagedorn to Lee-Yang: partition functions of = 4 SYM theory at finite N

AT Kristensson, M Wilhelm - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We study the thermodynamics of the maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory
with gauge group U (N) on ℝ× S 3, dual to type IIB superstring theory on AdS 5× S 5. While …

Modularity and 4D-2D spectral equivalences for large-N gauge theories with adjoint matter

G Basar, A Cherman, KR Dienes… - Journal of High Energy …, 2016 - Springer
A bstract In recent work, we demonstrated that the confined-phase spectrum of non-
supersymmetric pure Yang-Mills theory coincides with the spectrum of the chiral sector of a …

Casimir Energy of Confining Large Gauge Theories

G Başar, A Cherman, DA McGady, M Yamazaki - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
Four-dimensional asymptotically free large N gauge theories compactified on SR 3× R have
a weakly coupled confining regime when R is small compared to the strong scale. We …

equivalence for large- Yang-Mills theory

G Başar, A Cherman, KR Dienes, DA McGady - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
General string-theoretic considerations suggest that four-dimensional large-N gauge
theories should have dual descriptions in terms of two-dimensional conformal field theories …
