We compute the Witten index of one-dimensional gauged linear sigma models with at least ${\mathcal N}=2$ supersymmetry. In the phase where the gauge group is broken to a finite group, the index is expressed as a certain residue integral. It is subject to a change as the Fayet-Iliopoulos parameter is varied through the phase boundaries. The wall crossing formula is expressed as an integral at infinity of the Coulomb branch. The result is applied to many examples, including quiver quantum mechanics that is relevant for BPS states in $d=4$ ${\mathcal N}=2$ theories.

  1. Schubert line defects in 3d GLSMs, part II: Partial flag manifolds and parabolic quantum polynomials

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Schubert line defects in 3d GLSMs for partial flag manifolds reproduce parabolic Whitney polynomials for Schubert classes in quantum K-theory and yield new parabolic quantum Grothendieck polynomials.

  2. Schubert line defects in 3d GLSMs, part I: Complete flag manifolds and quantum Grothendieck polynomials

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Schubert line defects in 3d GLSMs for complete flag manifolds are realized as SQM quivers whose indices give quantum Grothendieck polynomials and restrict the target space to Schubert varieties.

  3. Localisation of $\mathcal{N} = (2,2)$ theories on spindles of both twists

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A general formula is derived for the exact partition function of abelian vector and charged chiral multiplets on both twisted and anti-twisted spindles.
