Summary: The dictionary for spinning fields/operators in the spinor-helicity base in the AdS(4)/CFT3 context allows the scalarization of n-point contact vertices. The dictionary is applicable to theories with higher derivative corrections in Yang-Mills and gravity as well as some higher spin examples, and illustrates the relation to the three-dimensional bosonization duality.

Summary: We introduce a general framework for realizing edge modes as dynamical reference frames in gauge field theory, providing an explicit interpretation. By isolating the subsector of the global theory compatible with gauge-invariant boundary conditions for dynamics in a bounded region, we establish consistent variational principles and boundary actions. The resulting dynamics for the subregion manifest as edge modes, which are influenced by boundary symmetries.

Summary: This paper revisits the construction of holographic duals to topologically twisted three-dimensional N = 4 field theories in four-dimensional gauged Spin(4) supergravity, highlighting subtleties related to preserving supersymmetry in AdS/CFT. By studying the geometry of these supergravity solutions, it is concluded that the gravitational free energy is independent of the boundary metric and vanishes for any smooth solution.

Summary: We present an infinite family of supersymmetric phases in the three-dimensional ABJM superconformal field theory and the dual asymptotically AdS(4) gravity. These phases are interpreted as partially deconfined phases, extending the confined/pure AdS phase and deconfined/supersymmetric black hole phase. We find two saddles in the ABJM theory with the same entropy as the supersymmetric black hole, corresponding to the two primitive fourth-roots of unity, which cause macroscopic oscillations in the microcanonical index.

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: The author considers topologically twisted Chern-Simons-matter theories and proposes boundary VOAs to model the category of line operators in the 3D bulk. The main examples are from the topological A and B twists of the exotic N = 4 Chern-Simons-matter theories of Gaiotto-Witten, but there is a topological A-twist for a larger class of N ≤ 4 theories. A specific example of this new class of theories is illustrated, which admits the p = 2 singlet VOA M(2) on its boundary, and its relation to the 0 ≤ 8 limit of the Gaiotto-Rapc & aacute;k corner VOA Y-1,Y-1,Y-0[?] is commented.

Summary: This study investigates matter coupled supersymmetric Chern-Simons theories in three dimensions, extending the Gaiotto-Witten mechanism from flat HyperKahler manifolds to curved ones, and deriving precise conditions for supersymmetry enhancement. An infinite class of HyperKahler metrics compatible with the enhancement condition is provided by Calabi metrics on (CPn)-CP*, with specific examples leading to unique homogeneous Sasaki-Einstein 7-manifolds in the context of M-theory compactification.

Summary: This paper presents higher Chern-Simons theories based on (2-)crossed modules. It starts by generalizing the differential forms in Generalized Differential Calculus and defining the corresponding generalized connections, which consist of higher connections. Then, it establishes the generalized Chern-Simons forms to obtain the higher Chern-Simons actions. Finally, it develops the higher second Chern forms and Chern-Weil theorems.

Summary: In this study, various entanglement measures in a one-parameter family of three-dimensional, strongly coupled Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons field theories are examined using their dual supergravity descriptions. The findings indicate that entanglement measures are unable to distinguish between theories with a mass gap that exhibit confinement and those that do not. Additionally, it is observed that at intermediate energy scales approaching a fixed point, holographic entanglement entropy, mutual information, and F-functions for strips and disks quantitatively match the conformal values.

Summary: In this study, a novel approach to uncovering Stokes phenomenon exhibited by the holomorphic blocks of the CP1 model is proposed by considering it as a specific decoupling limit of the SQED(2) model. By utilizing a Z(3) symmetry to transform holomorphic blocks, six pairs of SQED(2) holomorphic blocks are identified, covering the full parameter space of the SQED(2) model. These findings provide insights into the relationship between different pairs of holomorphic blocks and their associated Stokes-like regions.

Summary: The study presents a method to compute the topological phase factor of partition function in pure Chern-Simons theory, incorporating supersymmetric localization. The developed regularization method ensures the preservation of supersymmetry, resulting in the appearance of the topological phase. Numerical calculations confirm that the partition function computed using this method satisfies various level rank dualities within a certain range, including those proposed in recent literature.

Summary: In three-dimensional gravity, there are two layers of dualities between diffeomorphisms and a notion of dual diffeomorphisms, as well as between first order curvature and torsion. These dualities are elegantly revealed when studying the Mielke-Baekler Lagrangian. Within each sector of the torsion/curvature duality, there exists a well-defined notion of dual diffeomorphism, forming a centerless double Virasoro algebra along with the usual diffeomorphisms.

Summary: This article discusses topological quantum field theories that compute topological invariants dependent on additional structures or decorations on three-manifolds. An example of such an invariant is the q-series invariant Ẑ(q) proposed by Gukov, Pei, Putrov, and Vafa. The article describes the process of obtaining these decorated invariants through cutting and gluing, and proposes Hilbert spaces assigned to two-dimensional surfaces in the Ẑ-TQFT.

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: We investigate the internally abelianized versions of gravitational theories and their possible interaction terms. In models of 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions, we find that some actions are inconsistent with their abelianized versions while others are consistent. This suggests a potential approach to quantizing Euclidean general relativity.

Summary: The study focuses on constructing supersymmetric AdS solutions in 5-dimensional minimal gauged supergravity, which can uplift to smooth solutions of type IIB supergravity on regular Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. These solutions are dual to d = 2, H = (0, 2) SCFTs, and it is shown that the central charge of the gravity solution matches with a field theory calculation involving D3-branes wrapped on Sigma.

Summary: The article presents families of supersymmetric AdS(3) x Y-7 and AdS(3) x Y-8 solutions in IIB string theory and M-theory, respectively. The solutions are interpreted as near-horizon limits of N D3-branes wrapped on Sigma and N M5-branes wrapped on Sigma (g) x Sigma, corresponding to holographically dual to d=2, (0,2) SCFTs. The central charge and superconformal R-symmetry of the gravity solutions are shown to agree with dual field theory calculations.

Summary: The study constructs supersymmetric solutions of D = 7 gauged supergravity, which uplift to D = 11 supergravity solutions on S4 and have orbifold singularities. These solutions are argued to be dual to d = 4, N = 1 SCFTs arising from N M5-branes wrapped on a spindle embedded in a Calabi-Yau three-fold. In the infrared, the superconformal R-symmetry mixes with the isometry of the spindle.

Summary: In the context of holography, this paper analyzes supersymmetric geometries based on two-dimensional orbifolds known as spindles. By analyzing spinc spinors on a spindle with an azimuthal rotation symmetry, the paper reveals two possibilities: twist and anti-twist, determined by the quantized magnetic flux through the spindle. The paper constructs solutions of gauged supergravity theories in D = 5 and D = 4 that are dual to D3-branes and M2-branes wrapping spindles, respectively, and discusses M5-branes wrapped on spindles from both a gravity and a field theory perspective.

Summary: In this study, supersymmetric AdS(3) solutions of D = 11 supergravity dual to d = 2, N = (0, 2) SCFTs associated with M5-branes wrapping two different four-dimensional orbifolds were constructed. Central charges of the d = 2 SCFTs calculated from the gravity solutions were shown to agree with field theory computations using anomaly polynomials. The new D = 11 solutions were obtained through a Kaluza-Klein truncation of maximal D = 7 gauged supergravity reduced on a spindle down to D = 5 minimal gauged supergravity.

Summary: This article introduces an entropy function for supersymmetric accelerating black holes in four-dimensional anti-de Sitter space that can lift general Sasaki-Einstein manifolds X-7 to M-theory solutions. This allows for the computation of black hole entropy without knowing the explicit solutions. A dual holographic microstate counting can be obtained by computing certain supersymmetric partition functions of Chern-Simons-matter theories compactified on a spindle. A general prediction for a class of such partition functions in terms of blocks, each constructed from the partition function on a three-sphere, is made.

Summary: In this paper, we construct a family of multidyonically charged and rotating supersymmetric AdS(2) x Sigma solutions. We argue that these solutions arise as near horizon limits of extremal dyonically charged rotating and accelerating supersymmetric black holes in AdS(4). We demonstrate this by constructing the accelerating black hole solutions and showing that the nonspinning spindle solutions arise as the near horizon limit of the supersymmetric and extremal subclass of these black holes. Furthermore, we compute the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the black holes and show that it can be obtained by extremizing a simple entropy function. For appropriately quantized magnetic fluxes, the solutions uplift to smooth supersymmetric solutions to D = 11 supergravity.

Summary: The study focuses on the thermodynamics of AdS(4) black hole solutions of Einstein-Maxwell theory, analyzing accelerating, rotating, and charged black holes. By using holography, the Euclidean on-shell action is calculated and a set of conserved charges are defined to establish the first law. By identifying a complex locus of supersymmetric and nonextremal solutions through an analytic continuation of parameters, a simple expression for the on-shell action is obtained, leading to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy for a class of supersymmetric and extremal black holes.

Summary: The study explores accelerating, rotating, and dyonically charged black hole solutions in AdS 4, showing that D = 4 black hole metrics have conical singularities when the acceleration is nonvanishing. By uplifting to D = 11 supergravity and eliminating conical singularities, new regular supersymmetric AdS solutions are derived. The entropy of these black holes can potentially be derived from certain gauge theories in spinning spindle compactifications.
