A Strong Coupling Test of S-Duality
read the original abstract
By studying the partition function of $N=4$ topologically twisted supersymmetric Yang-Mills on four-manifolds, we make an exact strong coupling test of the Montonen-Olive strong-weak duality conjecture. Unexpected and exciting links are found with two-dimensional rational conformal field theory.

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