abstract

We find boundary confining dualities of 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories with exceptional gauge groups. The half-indices which enumerate the boundary BPS local operators in the presence of Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions for gauge fields are identified with the Askey-Wilson type $q$-beta integrals and Macdonald type sums respectively. New conjectural identities of $E_6$ and $E_7$ integrals and sums are derived from the boundary confining dualities. We also consider theories with a vector multiplet and adjoint chiral, which correspond to an $\mathcal{N}=4$ vector multiplet, with appropriate boundary conditions. We argue for the boundary confinement of the $\mathcal{N}=4$ vector multiplet and comment on such theories also with classical gauge groups.

    Boundary Wilson and 't Hooft line two-point functions in N=4 SYM match exactly under S-duality, with closed forms from Macdonald polynomials.

  2. Boundary lines and Askey-Wilson type moments

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Wilson line defect half-indices for 3d N=2 theories with confining boundaries are exactly Askey-Wilson type moments, obtained via dual vortex defects and effective spin shifts in the index computation.
