We study the partition function of the compactified 5D U(1) gauge theory (in the Omega-background) with a single adjoint hypermultiplet, calculated using the refined topological vertex. We show that this partition function is an example a periodic Schur process and is a refinement of the generating function of cylindric plane partitions. The size of the cylinder is given by the mass of adjoint hypermultiplet and the parameters of the Omega-background. We also show that this partition function can be written as a trace of operators which are generalizations of vertex operators studied by Carlsson and Okounkov. In the last part of the paper we describe a way to obtain (q,t) identities using the refined topological vertex.

  1. Refined Vafa-Witten invariants for toric surfaces from supersymmetric localization in 5D gauge theory

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    5D N=1* supersymmetric localization on toric surfaces equals refined Vafa–Witten invariants for odd first Chern class; the even-c1 case fails without a hand-added constant.

  2. Quantum vortices, M2-branes and black holes

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Cardy-limit index for M2-brane theories gives a large-N free energy scaling as N^(3/2) that, after a Legendre transform, matches the entropy of BPS black holes in AdS4 x S7.
