abstract

We develop a systematic and efficient method of counting single-trace and multi-trace BPS operators with two supercharges, for world-volume gauge theories of $N$ D-brane probes for both $N \to \infty$ and finite $N$. The techniques are applicable to generic singularities, orbifold, toric, non-toric, complete intersections, et cetera, even to geometries whose precise field theory duals are not yet known. The so-called ``Plethystic Exponential'' provides a simple bridge between (1) the defining equation of the Calabi-Yau, (2) the generating function of single-trace BPS operators and (3) the generating function of multi-trace operators. Mathematically, fascinating and intricate inter-relations between gauge theory, algebraic geometry, combinatorics and number theory exhibit themselves in the form of plethystics and syzygies.

Abelian Orbifolds for Brane Brick Models

hep-th · 2026-06-26 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A construction procedure that induces an abelian orbifold action on the fields and J/E-terms of a parent brane brick model for a toric CY4, yielding explicit orbifolded theories that preserve consistency conditions.

Large Order Enumerative Geometry, Black Holes and Black Rings

hep-th · 2026-05-19 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

Numerical analysis of 5D indices shows a transition from BMPV black hole entropy to black ring entropy at critical angular momentum m, while PT invariants exhibit two further transitions at positive m and DT invariants transition to D0-brane dominance.
