abstract

We study quantum mechanical systems with $\mathfrak{osp}(4^{*}|4)$ superconformal symmetry. We classify unitary lowest-weight representations of this superconformal algebra and define an index which receives contributions from short and semi-short multiplets only. We consider the example of a quantum mechanical $\sigma$-model with hyper-K\"{a}hler target $\mathcal{M}$ equipped with a triholomorphic homothety. The superconformal index coincides with the Witten index of a novel form of supersymmetric quantum mechanics for a particle moving on $\mathcal{M}$ in a background magnetic field in which an unbroken $\mathfrak{su}(1|2)$ subalgebra of the superconformal algebra is linearly realised as a global symmetry.

  1. Universal Constraints for Conformal Line Defects

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Any conformal line defect satisfies new integrated consistency conditions from shape deformation symmetry, verified against known data and used to predict new OPE coefficients.

  2. On conformal symmetry in large-$N$ quiver mechanics

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    At large rank N, the fixed-point formula for the quiver superconformal index equals the Ω_uneq contribution to the microscopic scaling BPS index of Beaujard–Mondal–Pioline, a piece previously invisible on the Coulomb branch.
