abstract

We propose a dictionary between geometry of triangulated 3-manifolds and physics of three-dimensional N=2 gauge theories. Under this duality, standard operations on triangulated 3-manifolds and various invariants thereof (classical as well as quantum) find a natural interpretation in field theory. For example, independence of the SL(2) Chern-Simons partition function on the choice of triangulation translates to a statement that S^3_b partition functions of two mirror 3d N=2 gauge theories are equal. Three-dimensional N=2 field theories associated to 3-manifolds can be thought of as theories that describe boundary conditions and duality walls in four-dimensional N=2 SCFTs, thus making the whole construction functorial with respect to cobordisms and gluing.

Meromorphic amplitudes from 3-dimensional supersymmetry

hep-th · 2026-06-16 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Coon amplitude equals 3d N=2 half-index of XYZ model with boundary conditions; IR flow gives Veneziano amplitude, and elliptic completion of q^ST yields a meromorphic positive version.

Consistent subsectors of maximal supergravity and wrapped M5-branes

hep-th · 2025-11-19 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

New family of maximal 4D gauged supergravities with trombone gauging admits supersymmetric AdS vacua related to M5-branes and provides sufficient conditions for consistent subtruncations from groups not contained in the N=8 gauge group.

Refined 3D index

hep-th · 2026-04-19 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A refined 3D index is defined by adding flavor symmetry gradings to the superconformal index of T[M], yielding an explicit infinite-sum formula from Dehn surgery that is claimed to be a strictly stronger invariant than the standard 3D index.
