The 4d Superconformal Index from q-deformed 2d Yang-Mills
read the original abstract
We identify the 2d topological theory underlying the N=2 4d superconformal index with an explicit model: q-deformed 2d Yang-Mills. By this route we are able to evaluate the index of some strongly-coupled 4d SCFTs, such as Gaiotto's T_N theories.

Generalised 4d Partition Functions and Modular Differential Equations
Generalized Schur partition functions Z_USp(2N)(q; alpha) for 4d N=2 USp(2N) theories satisfy order-(N+1) MLDEs with vanishing Wronskian index, alpha fixing MLDE parameters, with links to RCFT characters and a conject...

Violation of Universal Operator Growth Hypothesis in $\mathcal{W}_3$Conformal Field Theories
In W3 CFTs, Lanczos coefficients b_N grow as N^2 for generalized Liouvillian with W generators, violating the universal linear growth bound and causing divergent Krylov complexity, with the same quadratic growth in th...

Fermionic extensions of $W$-algebras via 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauge theories with a boundary
Constructs fermionic extensions of W-algebras W^{-N+1}(sl_N, f_sub) via BRST cohomology in 3d N=4 abelian gauge theories and explicitly computes the N=3 case as an extension of the Bershadsky-Polyakov algebra.

On non-relativistic integrable models and 4d SCFTs
Generalized Schur indices of N=2 class S theories are expressed using eigenfunctions of non-relativistic elliptic Calogero-Moser models, with extensions claimed for N=1 SCFTs via limits of models like Inozemtsev.
