New Phenomena in SU(3) Supersymmetric Gauge Theory

abstract
We show that four-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric SU(n) gauge theory for n>2 necessarily contains vacua with mutually non-local massless dyons, using only analyticity of the effective action and the weak coupling limit of the moduli space of vacua. A specific example is the Z_3 point in the exact solution for SU(3), and we study its effective Lagrangian. We propose that the low-energy theory at this point is an N=2 superconformal U(1) gauge theory containing both electrically and magnetically charged massless hypermultiplets.

A massive deformation of the T[SU(N)] theory is identified as the 3d SCFT realizing the RG-wall and half-BPS boundaries in 4d N=2 SU(N) SYM.
KZ connections with irregular singularities have monodromies that realize topological invariants of links and tangles.
Generalized Schur partition functions Z_USp(2N)(q; alpha) for 4d N=2 USp(2N) theories satisfy order-(N+1) MLDEs with vanishing Wronskian index, alpha fixing MLDE parameters, with links to RCFT characters and a conjecture on quantum monodromy traces.
Bi- and uni-vector deformations of heterotic supergravity solutions are constructed using gauged double field theory together with a generalized open/closed map.
Quasinormal-mode frequencies of extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes for charged and massive scalar fields are computed through Seiberg-Witten/Nekrasov-Shatashvili quantization.
Broken higher-group and non-invertible symmetries still act on the space of couplings, and their 'family anomalies' force the infrared theory to be gapless, spontaneously broken, or interrupted by a phase transition.
High-temperature limits on higher sheets of the superconformal index for (A1,A2n) Argyres-Douglas theories yield Gang-Kim-Stubbs 3d N=2 theories whose boundaries support Virasoro minimal model VOAs M(2,2n+3) and associated MTCs.
Derives TBA equations for the higher-order Mathieu equation of the SU(r+1) quantum Seiberg-Witten curve, obtains an analytic effective central charge from Y-function boundary conditions at theta to -infinity, and verifies subleading analytic plus higher-order numerical agreement with WKB expansions.
Proposes a manifestly duality- and Lorentz-invariant local action for QED with monopoles derived from Sen's formalism using field strengths as dynamical variables, with consistent tree- and loop-level results.
A nonlocal quantum field theory with a fitted kernel scale can reproduce the observed 8-9 pb top-antitop threshold excess at the LHC, but the key number is a postdiction rather than an independent prediction.
A comprehensive introduction to spectral networks that develops higher-rank Teichmüller theory in parallel with class S gauge theory and BPS spectra.
