abstract

We describe a new correspondence between four-dimensional conformal field theories with extended supersymmetry and two-dimensional chiral algebras. The meromorphic correlators of the chiral algebra compute correlators in a protected sector of the four-dimensional theory. Infinite chiral symmetry has far-reaching consequences for the spectral data, correlation functions, and central charges of any four-dimensional theory with ${\mathcal N}=2$ superconformal symmetry.

Two roads to fortuity in ABJM theory

hep-th · 2025-12-29 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Enumerates 244 fortuitous operators in ABJM theory and identifies a truncation matching the BMN subsector of N=4 SYM to lift an infinite tower of representatives.

Generalised 4d Partition Functions and Modular Differential Equations

hep-th · 2025-12-01 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

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.

Moduli Spaces in CFT: Large Charge Operators

hep-th · 2024-06-27 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

CFTs with broken continuous global symmetry on the moduli space require a tower of charged local operators whose scaling dimensions are asymptotically linear in the charge.

Macdonald Index From Refined Kontsevich-Soibelman Operator

hep-th · 2025-11-10 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A refined Kontsevich-Soibelman operator is conjectured to have trace equal to the Macdonald index for special 4d N=2 SCFTs, yielding closed forms for (A1, g) Argyres-Douglas theories.

Bridging 4D QFTs and 2D VOAs via 3D high-temperature EFTs

hep-th · 2024-09-26 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

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.

$\mathcal{N}=2$ Liouville SCFT in Four Dimensions

hep-th · 2019-07-21 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Constructs an N=2 Liouville SCFT in 4D, shows no quantum correction to the classical background charge, finds c=0 and negative a depending on the charge, and derives integral expressions for superfield vertex operator correlators.

Open-Closed-Open Triality Beyond Matrix Models

hep-th · 2026-05-04 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Two open-string descriptions of branes on the resolved conifold are equivalent; integrating out one stack yields an effective potential that reproduces the backreaction and matches giant-graviton actions on the deformed conifold.

On non-relativistic integrable models and 4d SCFTs

hep-th · 2026-04-21 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Generalized Schur indices of N=2 class S theories are expressed using eigenfunctions of non-relativistic elliptic Calogero-Moser models, with extensions claimed for N=1 SCFTs via limits of models like Inozemtsev.
