Speaker：Xiaoyue Sun (YMSC)

Abstract：

The tetrahedron equation, a three-dimensional analogue of the Yang-Baxter equation, is the fundamental relation in studying three-dimensional integrable systems. In this talk, I will discuss the construction of solutions of the tetrahedron equation using cluster algebra, based on work with my supervisor, Junya Yagi (arXiv:2211.10702) and further developed with Rei Inoue, Atsuo Kuniba, Yuji Terashima, and Junya Yagi (arXiv:2403.08814). Our cluster algebraic approach reproduces most known solutions of the tetrahedron equation. I will also briefly talk about how these solutions can be identified with the partition functions of certain 3d N=2 gauge theories on a squashed sphere.

Seminar on QFT and Geometry | Twisted formalism of 3d supersymmetric theories - 1
AbstractRecently, vertex operator algebras from 3d supersymmetric theories gained a lot of attention. One way to study them directly is using twisted formalism and compute OPE. We are going to review [2204.02997] (with relevant references) from scratch to utilize this technique to research holomorphically or topologically twisted SQFTs in 3d

Quasinormal modes of C-metric from superconformal field theories
AbstractNekrasov instanton partition function of 4d N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories is deeply connected to the integrability in the physics context, and thus is also deeply related to exact analysis in mathematics such as the resurgence. In this talk, I will first briefly give a review on the relation between supersymmetric gauge theories and a family of differential equations, the Heun equat...
