Summary: We introduce a class of 3d theories consisting of strongly-coupled N = 4 systems coupled to N = 3 Chern-Simons gauge multiplets, which exhibit N = 4 enhancements when a peculiar condition on the Chern-Simons levels is met. We also show that some but not all of these N = 4 enhancements can be understood by considering M5-branes on a special class of Seifert manifolds. Our construction provides a large class of N = 4 theories which have not been studied previously.

Summary: We propose dualities of N = (0, 2) supersymmetric boundary conditions for 3d N = 2 gauge theories with orthogonal and symplectic gauge groups, and show that the boundary 't Hooft anomalies and half-indices perfectly match for each pair of the proposed dual boundary conditions.

Summary: Duality cascades in field theories are realized by Hanany-Witten transitions in brane configurations on a circle. In the Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena theory and its generalizations, we propose that the fundamental domain of supersymmetric brane configurations in duality cascades can tile the whole parameter space of relative ranks by translations, based on the requirement that duality cascades always end and the final destination depends only on the initial brane configuration. We provide arguments supporting our proposal.

Summary: We generalize the Giveon-Kutasov duality by adding possible Chern-Simons interactions for the U(N) gauge group. Some of the generalized dualities are known in the literature and many others are new, connected to non-supersymmetric bosonization duality via mass deformations. For N = 1, there are an infinite number of magnetic-dual theories.

Summary: Witten's open string field theory (SFT) shares a close formal similarity with Chern-Simons theory in three dimensions, with concepts of forms, exterior derivative, wedge product, and manifold integration. In SFT, the introduced interior product is specified by a two-component tangent vector lowering the ghost number, while the Lie derivative is defined as the anti-commutator of the interior product and BRST operator. Both operations respect the KBc algebra in SFT.

Summary: This study examines the one-dimensional topological sector of N = 6 ABJ(M) theory and its relation with the mass-deformed partition function on S-3. By computing the two-point function at two-loop, evidence is provided for the correlation functions of dimension-one topological operators. The results suggest the possibility of localizing the topological sector of ABJ(M) theory and its potential applications in the bootstrap program for 3d SCFTs.

Summary: In this study, six-point string amplitudes for the scattering of different states in D-brane-anti-D-brane systems in Type II superstring theories were computed, and the precise form and numerical coefficients of the couplings were derived, modifying and completing previous proposals. The study confirmed that the effective field theory reproduced the stringy gauge field singularities in dual channels. Additionally, a proposal for tensionless limits of D-brane-anti-D-brane systems was made based on interesting similarities between all-order highly symmetric EFTs and holographic duals of Vasiliev's higher spin gravities.

Summary: The paper discusses the exceptional symmetry and U-duality theory in F-theory, examining the SO(5,5) U-duality symmetry acting on spacetime and worldvolume coordinates. The symmetry is enlarged in the Lagrangian formulation to SO(6,6), with proposed actions for F-theory 10-branes having both SO(5,5) and SO(6,6) symmetries. The gauge fields in the latter action include spacetime and worldvolume backgrounds, derived from SO(6,6)/S0(6;C) coset elements.

Summary: The sub-leading structures of the free energy in N = 3 Chern-Simons-matter quiver gauge theories with gauge group U(N)(r) (r >= 2) were investigated using saddle point approximation and ideal Fermi-gas model for computing the partition function. A comparison of the resulting expressions for the free energy suggested a potential universal 1/6 log N correction. The study also indicated a connection between the sub-leading correction of the planar free energy in the large 't Hooft parameter limit and higher-derivative corrections to the tree-level holographic dual free energy in massive Type IIA theory.

Summary: This paper investigates the relation between the parity-odd and parity-even parts of correlation functions in theories with conserved or weakly broken higher spin symmetries, as well as their connection to the parity-even part computed from free theories. The well-known link between CFT correlation functions and de-Sitter amplitudes in one higher dimension implies a connection between parity-even and parity-odd amplitudes calculated using non-minimal interactions.

Summary: This work presents momentum space Ward identities related to broken higher spin symmetry as an alternate approach to compute correlators of spinning operators in interacting theories. The authors use higher spin equations to obtain parity even and parity odd contributions to correlators involving spinning and scalar operators in a general kinematic regime, and match their results with existing literature when available. The interesting fact that higher spin equations can be used away from the conformal fixed point is illustrated by considering mass deformed free boson theory and solving for two-point functions of spinning operators using higher spin equations.

Summary: In this paper, we present the partition function of the refined Chern-Simons theory on S-3 with arbitrary A, B, C, D gauge algebra in terms of multiple sine functions. We conjecture a duality to some refined and orientifolded versions of the topological string on the resolved conifold and identify different contributions. The free energies for D and C algebras have contributions from orientable and non-orientable surfaces, while the B algebra has different contributions. We also propose a modular-invariant representation and calculate some non-perturbative corrections.

Summary: By analyzing SU(2) Chern-Simons theories at large baryon number on T-2 x Double-struck capital R at the IR fixed-point, we discovered a homogeneous but anisotropic ground state configuration. This suggests that the theory does not reduce to the singlet sector of the O(4) Wilson-Fisher fixed-point at large-k. This paper marks a primitive step towards quantitative analysis of Chern-Simons-matter dualities using the large charge expansion.
