Summary: This study investigates the mirror symmetry of Abelian three-dimensional N = 2 theories with mixed Chern-Simons levels by transforming them into T-A,T-N theories. It reveals that T-A,T-N theories have multiple mirror dual theories with different mixed CS levels and parameters, and analyzes the mirror symmetry for theories corresponding to knots using sphere partition functions and vortex partition functions.

Summary: The study focuses on 3D N=4 quiver gauge theories and reveals that their moduli space can factorize into separate sectors, each described by a single quiver gauge theory. It also examines the dual pairs of unitary and orthosymplectic quivers and conjectures the exact highest weight generating functions for the Coulomb branch Hilbert series of orthosymplectic quivers, which are verified through direct computations.

Summary: The study focuses on three-dimensional sQED with 2 flavors and minimal supersymmetry, exploring models dual to Gross-Neveu-Yukawa theories. The U(2) ultraviolet global symmetry is enhanced in the infrared, such as to O(4) or SU(3), which is similar to the behavior of non-supersymmetric QED with 2 flavors. Perturbative analysis shows that superpotential deformations preserving U(2) in the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa models are irrelevant, indicating stable fixed points with enhanced symmetry. Additionally, an example of N = 2 sQED with 4 flavors is constructed, exhibiting enhanced SO(6) symmetry.

Summary: In this study, a worldsheet description for the AdS(5) x S-5 string theory was proposed, dual to the large N, free N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. The worldsheet theory is a natural generalization of the tensionless string on AdS(3) x S-3 x T-4, with free field description and spectrally flowed sectors. By imposing a set of residual gauge constraints on the reduced oscillator Fock space, the physical spectrum of the string theory can be determined, reproducing the planar spectrum of single trace operators of the free supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory.

Summary: We study 3d N = 2 dualities arising from the compactification of 4d N = 1 Usp(2n) SQCD with two antisymmetric rank-two tensors and Dk+2-type superpotential, with odd k. The analysis is carried out by using field theory methods and by checking the various steps on the three sphere partition function. Most of the results are based on a conjectural confining duality that we do not prove but that fits consistently with the web of dualities that we obtain. Along the analysis we recover dualities already claimed in the literature and we propose new ones. The final picture that emerges fits with the general scheme worked out for ordinary SQCD and for adjoint SQCD with A(k)-type superpotentials.

Summary: The non-BPS realm of 3d N = 4 superconformal field theory is investigated by combining the non-perturbative methods of the conformal bootstrap and supersymmetric localization, utilizing special features such as mirror symmetry and topological quantum mechanics. Numerical bootstrap is applied to obtain universal constraints on OPE data, with a key factor being the determination of mixed-branch superconformal blocks. The simplest known self-mirror theory with SU(2) x SU(2) flavor symmetry satisfies bootstrap bounds, enabling extraction of non-BPS data and examination of its self-mirror Z(2) symmetry.

Summary: In this work, the large N limit of the integrated correlator of four superconformal primary operators in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory is investigated. The formula proposed by Dorigoni, Green and Wen is shown to be equivalent to the sum over the contributions of (p, q)-strings via holography. The large order behavior of a single function allows for the determination of the large N non-perturbative corrections.

Summary: We study the E-string theory on Double-struck capital R-4 x T-2 with Wilson lines and consider two examples where interesting automorphisms arise. In the first example, the spectrum is invariant under the F-4 Weyl group, and the Seiberg-Witten curve is expressed in terms of Weyl invariant F-4 Jacobi forms. In the second example, the spectrum is invariant under the D-4 triality combined with modular transformations, and the Seiberg-Witten curve is presented in terms of triality invariant Jacobi forms.

Summary: In this paper, we discuss a higher-derivative generalization of supersymmetric quantum electrodynamics in N=2, d=3 superspace, where the higher-derivative operator is a polynomial function of the d'Alembertian. We use the background field quantization in a higher-derivative R & xi; gauge to calculate the superfield effective potential up to two loops in the Kahlerian approximation, which is obtained in a closed form and expressed in terms of elementary functions.

Summary: In this letter, a lattice regularization method for chiral fermions in the 3-4-5-0 model of (1 + 1)D is proposed. By introducing carefully designed local interactions, the chiral fermions and their mirror partners are realized on opposite boundaries of a thin strip of (2 + 1)D lattice model. The interaction-driven gapping transition is shown to be in the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless universality class.

Summary: This work explores the application of supersymmetric localization in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. By combining lattice sum representation with Goddard-Nuyts-Olive duality, a unified two-dimensional lattice sum representation applicable to all simple gauge groups is provided. Formulas are proposed for both perturbative and non-perturbative expansions for simple gauge groups and common backgrounds. In addition, new results regarding exceptional gauge groups are obtained by deriving Laplace equations for the integrated correlators.

Summary: We study the four-point correlation functions of protected single-trace scalar operators in planar N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, and conjecture that all loop corrections originate from an integrand with a ten-dimensional symmetry. This symmetry combines spacetime and R-charge transformations. By considering a 10D light-like limit, we extend the correlator/amplitude duality by equating large R-charge octagons with Coulomb branch scattering amplitudes. Results from integrability predict new finite amplitudes and some Feynman integrals.

Summary: The paper discusses 3dN = 2 gauge theories with a field in a rank-2 representation, and details a process of producing Seiberg-dual quiver theories through deconfinement. This process is illustrated with two examples and it is noted that the fully deconfined dual quiver can be seen as an Aharony dual of theories with rank-2 matter.

Summary: We investigate Seiberg-like dualities of 3D N=2 general quiver gauge theories coupled to different types of gauge groups and matter fields. By computing supersymmetric indices and checking the matching of half-indices, we provide strong evidence for the proposed dualities. We also extend the dualities to the presence of a boundary with specific boundary conditions.

Summary: The research explores a surface defect in four-dimensional gauge theories supporting nested instantons, and introduces an effective theory in a specific background. Mathematically conjectural explicit formulae for the virtual equivariant elliptic genus of a certain bundle over the moduli space are derived, with a connection to elliptic cohomology of character varieties and an elliptic version of modified Macdonald polynomials.

Summary: We conducted a detailed study of irregular correlators in Liouville Conformal Field Theory, the related Virasoro conformal blocks with irregular singularities, and their connection formulas. By considering their semi-classical limit, we obtained explicit expressions of the connection matrices for the Heun function and a class of its confluences. The calculations were simplified using concrete combinatorial formulas from conformal block expansions.

Summary: In this paper, we obtain explicit expressions for the finite frequency greybody factor, quasinormal modes, and Love numbers of Kerr black holes by calculating the exact connection coefficients of the radial and angular parts of the Teukolsky equation. The obtained results are consistent with existing literature in the relevant approximation limits. The method used in this study can be extended to solve the linearized Einstein equation in other interesting gravitational backgrounds.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of rotation on the transition temperature of strongly interacting matter produced in non-central heavy ion collisions. By using a holographic description of an AdS black hole, the authors extend the analysis to the more realistic case where the matter spreads over a region around the rotational axis. The results show the coexistence of confined and deconfined phases and are consistent with the concept of local temperature in rotating frames developed by Tolman and Ehrenfest.

Summary: This paper investigates the effect of gravitational constant variation on the propagation of gravitational waves. By employing two analytical methods, the study finds that variations in the gravitational constant result in amplitude and phase corrections for gravitational waves, and the time variation of the gravitational constant can be constrained through the propagation of gravitational waves.

Summary: This letter presents the first study of Hawking radiation as a tunneling process within the framework of non-commutative gauge theory of gravity. The non-commutative Schwarzschild black hole is reconstructed using the Seiberg-Witten map and the star product. The emission spectrum of outgoing massless particles is computed using the quantum tunneling mechanism. The results reveal pure thermal radiation in the low-frequency scenario, but a deviation from pure thermal radiation in the high-frequency scenario due to energy conservation. It is also found that noncommutativity enhances the correlations between successively emitted particles.

Summary: The travel times of light signals between two antipodal points on a compact star's surface are calculated for two different trajectories. It is shown that, for highly dense stars, the longer trajectory along the surface may have a shorter travel time as measured by asymptotic observers. A critical value of the dimensionless density-area parameter is determined for constant density stars to distinguish cases where crossing through the star's center or following a semi-circular trajectory on the surface has a shorter travel time as measured by asymptotic observers.
