We study N=2 supersymmetric four dimensional gauge theories, in a certain N=2 supergravity background, called Omega-background. The partition function of the theory in the Omega-background can be calculated explicitly. We investigate various representations for this partition function: a statistical sum over random partitions, a partition function of the ensemble of random curves, a free fermion correlator. These representations allow to derive rigorously the Seiberg-Witten geometry, the curves, the differentials, and the prepotential. We study pure N=2 theory, as well as the theory with matter hypermultiplets in the fundamental or adjoint representations, and the five dimensional theory compactified on a circle.

  1. Axioms for physical reasoning: codifying the Seiberg--Witten solution in Lean

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0

    The Seiberg–Witten SU(2) solution is formalized in Lean 4 with physical assumptions as named predicates and mathematical consequences as sorry-free theorems, demonstrating a method for auditing non-rigorous physics arguments.

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0

    Fractional exponents of the blow-up prefactor exp(-V_n) on 1-form backgrounds encode cubic and mixed anomalies of 5d N=1 SCFTs, deciding 2-groups versus mixed anomalies once the faithful UV symmetry is known from the index.

    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.

  5. Generalised global symmetries in 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$ theories from the blow-up equations

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    Blow-up equation prefactors encode cubic 1-form self-anomalies and mixed anomalies of 5d N=1 SCFTs, deciding 2-group vs mixed anomaly structure.

  6. Quiver BPS Indices from Crystal Profiles

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    Elliptic genera and lower-dimensional BPS indices equal discrete sums over molecule boundaries in crystals defined by Jeffrey-Kirwan residues, generalizing Nekrasov Young-diagram formulas.

  7. Thermodynamic limit for SO(2N) gauge theories with spinors/conjugate spinors

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    The distinction between spinor and conjugate spinor matter in 5D SO(2N) gauge theories manifests as different boundary conditions on the Seiberg-Witten curve at O5-plane positions (w=±1).
