We introduce a generalization of the S^2 x S^1 superconformal index where background gauge fields with magnetic flux are coupled to the global symmetries of the theory. This allows one to gauge a global symmetry at the level of the index, which we use to show the matching of the superconformal index for N=2 SQED with N_f flavors and its mirror dual.

  1. Indices of M5 and M2 branes at finite $N$ from equivariant volumes, and a new duality

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Finite-N indices for M5- and M2-branes are expressed via the same equivariant characteristic classes, generalizing M2/M5 duality through geometry exchange.

  2. Orthosymplectic Chern-Simons Matter Theories: Global Forms, Dualities, and Vacua

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0

    A magnetic quiver framework is introduced to extract maximal branches and global forms of 3d orthosymplectic Chern-Simons matter theories from brane configurations, with global data fixed via indices and Hilbert series.

  3. Universal Planar Abelian Duals for 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ Symplectic CS-SQCD

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    New dualities are proposed between 3d N=2 USp(2N) CS-SQCD and Abelian planar quivers, obtained via real-mass deformations of N=4 mirrors and supported by matching partition functions, indices, and operator spectra.
