abstract

In this paper we study strong coupling asymptotic expansions of ${\mathcal N}=2$ $D=4$ $SU(2)$ gauge theory partition functions in general $\Omega$-background. This is done by refining Painlev\'e/gauge theory correspondence in terms of quantum Painlev\'e equations, obtained from $\mathbb{C}^2/\mathbb{Z}_2$ blowup relations. We present a general ansatz and a systematic analysis of the expansions of the gauge theory partition functions by solving the above equations around the strong coupling singularities, including Argyres-Douglas points. We compare our results with refined holomorphic anomaly equations and irregular Virasoro conformal blocks.

  1. Degeneration limits of Virasoro vertex operators and Painlev\'e tau functions

    math-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Degenerating Virasoro vertex operators yields the conjectured irregular-conformal-block expansions of the Painlevé V and IV tau functions at infinity, together with a rank r to r+1 degeneration construction.

  2. Eigenfunctions of deformed Schr\"odinger equations

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Explicit entire eigenfunctions are constructed for the difference operators 2Λ^N cosh(p)+V_N(x) with arbitrary polynomial potential; they become square-integrable only at a discrete set of energies.

  3. Blowing-up the edge: connection formulae and stability chart of the Lam\'e equation

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper derives the resummed Nekrasov-Shatashvili free energy from blow-up equations and uses it to compute the band-gap structure, connection formulas, and stability chart of the Lamé equation.

  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. Exact expressions for the 5-Point Liouville conformal block with a level-two degenerate field insertion

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A rigorous inductive proof that the 5-point Liouville conformal block with a level-2 degenerate insertion can be expressed exactly in terms of one hypergeometric function and its derivative.
