We study N=1 theories on Hermitian manifolds of the form M^4=S^1xM^3 with M^3 a U(1) fibration over S^2, and their 3d N=2 reductions. These manifolds admit an Heegaard-like decomposition in solid tori D^2xT^2 and D^2xS^1. We prove that when the 4d and 3d anomalies are cancelled the matrix integrands in the Coulomb branch partition functions can be factorised in terms of 1-loop factors on D^2xT^2 and D^2xS^1 respectively. By evaluating the Coulomb branch matrix integrals we show that the 4d and 3d partition functions can be expressed as sums of products of 4d and 3d holomorphic blocks.

  1. Half-BPS Boundaries and the RG-Wall of $\mathcal{N}=2$ $SU(N)$ SYM

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A massive deformation of the T[SU(N)] theory is identified as the 3d SCFT realizing the RG-wall and half-BPS boundaries in 4d N=2 SU(N) SYM.
