abstract

We study four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory in the presence of surface and point-like defects (blowups) and propose an identity relating partition functions at different values of $\Omega$-deformation parameters $({\varepsilon}_{1}, {\varepsilon}_{2})$. As a consequence, we obtain the formula conjectured in 2012 by O$.$Gamayun, N$.$Iorgov, and O$.$Lysovyy, relating the tau-function ${\tau}_{PVI}$ to $c=1$ conformal blocks of Liouville theory and propose its generalization for the case of Garnier-Schlesinger system. To this end we clarify the notion of the quasiclassical tau-function ${\tau}_{PVI}$ of Painlev\'e VI and its generalizations. We also make some remarks about the sphere partition functions, the boundary operator product expansion in the ${\mathcal{N}}=(4,4)$ sigma models related to four dimensional ${\mathcal{N}}=2$ theories on toric manifolds, discuss crossed instantons on conifolds, elucidate some aspects of the BPZ/KZ correspondence, and applications to quantization.

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In 5d N=1 U(N) gauge theory, codimension-two defects produce Q-operators whose q-difference equations are the Baxter TQ equations of XXZ spin chains built on bi-infinite evaluation modules of quantum affine algebras.

    math-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper proves the conifold gap property for Weierstrass elliptic topological recursion and gives an algebraic construction of the rank 5/2 Virasoro Whittaker state, linking the Painlevé I tau function to CFT and ho...

  3. Split Heun functions via blown-up surface defects

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5 of 10

    Blow-up equations for NS functions alone resum resonant poles of bulk and defect prepotentials, producing split Heun band-edge solutions, logarithmic companions, and nested mass loci for gap closure versus semisimple ...

  4. (1,k) CFT and RH problem with the c=-2 case

    math-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For (1,k) Virasoro models, periodic vertex operators plus two degenerate fields solve a modified Riemann–Hilbert problem; in the k=2, c=-2 case the solution is explicit and satisfies new bilinear identities.

  5. More on 5d Wilson Loops in Higher-Rank Theories and Blowup Equations

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For 5d N=1 pure gauge theories, Wilson-loop blowup equations can be fixed using one-form symmetry and low-instanton data, and one-instanton free energies admit a universal v=sqrt(q1q2) expansion resembling Hilbert series.
