AbstractGeometric Engineering is an important tool to construct a large class of non-Lagrangian theories in various dimensions. If a gauge algebra admits discrete automorphisms, there is the possibility to twist by them when performing a circle reduction. Since F-theory is related to M-theory by a circle reduction, and M-theory is sensitive to the full geometry, this begs the question which geo...
Abstract:Last time, we reviewed the topologically twisted indices from the holonomy matrix method for 3-manifolds constructed by Dehn surgery of knot/link complements. This time, we are going to review the other method using the ideal triangulation based on Dimofte-Gaiotto-Gukov and Dimofte-Garoufalidis.Specifically, we'll review combinatorial data of ideal triangulation of 3-manifolds with n-...
