  1. $S^3$ partition functions and Equivariant CY$_4 $/CY$_3$ correspondence from Quantum curves

    hep-th 2026-03 conditional novelty 7.0

    Derives Airy representation for S^3 partition functions in M2-brane theories that exactly matches equivariant topological string predictions and proposes a new CY4 to C x CY3 correspondence via quantum curves.

  2. Bootstrapping ABJM theory

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A bootstrap approach applied to ABJM theory yields analytic derivations of instanton corrections to the free energy and to 1/2 and 1/6 BPS Wilson loops, confirming relations previously known only conjecturally.

  3. Shell formulas for instantons and gauge origami

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A new shell formula unifies and delivers explicit closed-form expressions plus recursions for instanton partition functions in 5d SYM and multiple gauge origami configurations using arbitrary-dimensional Young diagrams.

  4. Defects, nested instantons and comet shaped quivers

    hep-th 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Proposes comet-shaped quiver gauge theories for surface defects with nested instantons in 4D gauge theories on T^2 × T*C_{g,k} and gives conjectural explicit formulae for the virtual equivariant elliptic genus of bund...

  5. Superform Approach to Equivariant Localization in Supergravity

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Closed superforms in superspace generate equivariantly closed polyforms for localization in off-shell 4d N=2 conformal supergravity, applied to vector, linear, chiral, and BF multiplets.

  6. Strong-coupling results in (non-)conformal $\mathcal{N}=2$ theories with fundamental flavors

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Localization matrix models yield resummed strong-coupling expressions for observables in N=2 theories with antisymmetric and fundamental matter, using an effective 't Hooft coupling at large N.

  7. The nonlocal magic of a holographic Schwinger pair

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Holographic Schwinger pair creation generates nonlocal magic for spacetime dimensions d>2, as shown by a non-flat entanglement spectrum that can be read from the probe brane free energy.
