Using geometric engineering in the context of type II strings, we obtain exact solutions for the moduli space of the Coulomb branch of all N=2 gauge theories in four dimensions involving products of SU gauge groups with arbitrary number of bi-fundamental matter for chosen pairs, as well as an arbitrary number of fundamental matter for each factor. Asymptotic freedom restricts the possibilities to SU groups with bi-fundamental matter chosen according to ADE or affine ADE Dynkin diagrams. Many of the results can be derived in an elementary way using the self-mirror property of K3. We find that in certain cases the solution of the Coulomb branch for N=2 gauge theories is given in terms of a three dimensional complex manifold rather than a Riemann surface. We also study new stringy strong coupling fixed points arising from the compactification of higher dimensional theories with tensionless strings and consider applications to three dimensional N=4 theories.

The CFT Distance Conjecture and Tensionless String Limits in $\mathcal N=2$ Quiver Gauge Theories
In N=2 SU quiver theories the large-N Hagedorn temperature depends only on quiver length for linear cases and equals that of N=4 SYM for holographic quivers, with a universal lower bound of 1/sqrt(2) on the exponentia...

Blowing-up the edge: connection formulae and stability chart of the Lam\'e equation
The paper derives the resummed Nekrasov-Shatashvili free energy from blow-up equations and uses it to compute the band-gap structure, connection formulas, and stability chart of the Lamé equation.

Weyl symmetry in $(D_4,D_4)$ conformal matter on a circle
Rank N (D4,D4) conformal matter on a circle is argued to have affine E8 Weyl symmetry in its brane webs, with 64 distinct sets of invariant Coulomb branch parameters for N ≥ 2.

IIB flux non-commutativity and the global structure of field theories
The paper traces the global-structure ambiguity of 6d (2,0) theories to non-commuting RR flux boundary conditions in IIB on C^2/Γ, reproducing the known classification of 4d N=4 theories and adding new results on dual...

$S$-duality, boundary states, and higher-form symmetries on ALE spaces
Maxwell theory on ALE spaces yields vector-valued modular boundary states whose gluing produces ordinary closed-manifold partition functions, with extensions to mixed electric-magnetic 1-form anomalies.

Origami with a Twist: Twisted Holography of Four-Dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ Orientifold Theories
Twisted holography is conjectured to extend from orbifolds to orientifolds, with bulk duals given by unoriented or oriented topological strings on SL2C/Γ, where orientifold data is encoded by a spin structure.

Mock modularity at work, or black holes in a forest
Generating functions of D4-D2-D0 BPS black hole microstates in Calabi-Yau compactifications are higher-depth mock modular forms, and solving their anomaly equations determines exact degeneracies and topological invariants.

On Hypergraph Representation of Multipartite Quantum Systems
Hypergraph states of qubits are mapped to many-body projector Hamiltonians, with an exponential gate-time scaling that supposedly limits their size under decoherence.
