abstract

We elucidate the relation between Painlev\'e equations and four-dimensional rank one ${\cal N= 2}$ theories by identifying the connection associated to Painlev\'e isomonodromic problems with the oper limit of the flat connection of the Hitchin system associated to gauge theories and by studying the corresponding renormalisation group flow. Based on this correspondence we provide long-distance expansions at various canonical rays for all Painlev\'e functions in terms of magnetic and dyonic Nekrasov partition functions for ${\cal N= 2}$ SQCD and Argyres-Douglas theories at self-dual Omega background $\epsilon_1+\epsilon_2= 0$, or equivalently in terms of $c= 1$ irregular conformal blocks.

Defects, nested instantons and comet shaped quivers

hep-th · 2019-07-05 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Proposes comet-shaped quiver gauge theories for surface defects with nested instantons in 4D gauge theories on T^2 × T*C_{g,k} and gives conjectural explicit formulae for the virtual equivariant elliptic genus of bundles over nested Hilbert schemes of points on the affine plane.

hep-th · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

The paper derives moduli-modified functional relations for Wronskians of a classical Lax ODE that identify quantum states, produce Y-systems and TBA equations without scattering theory, and prove two Zamolodchikov conjectures for the zero-momentum homogeneous sine-Gordon model linked to N=4 SYM and
