A nontrivial critical fixed point for replica-symmetry-breaking transitions
(2017-04-01)The transformation of the free-energy landscape from smooth to hierarchical is one of the richest features of mean-field disordered systems. A well-studied example is the de Almeida-Thouless transition for spin glasses in ... -
Counting Yang-Mills Dyons with Index Theorems
(Phys.Rev. D, 2017-06-01)We count the supersymmetric bound states of many distinct BPS monopoles in N=4 Yang-Mills theories and in pure N=2 Yang-Mills theories. The novelty here is that we work in generic Coulombic vacua where more than one adjoint ... -
From vortices to instantons on the Euclidean Schwarzschild manifold
(2018-01-18)The first irreducible solution of the $\SU (2)$ self-duality equations on the Euclidean Schwarzschild (ES) manifold was found by Charap and Duff in 1977, only 2 years later than the famous BPST instantons on $\rl^4$ were ... -
Higher genus knot contact homology and recursion for colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials
We sketch a construction of Legendrian Symplectic Field Theory (SFT) for conormal tori of knots and links. Using large $N$ duality and Witten's connection between open Gromov-Witten invariants and Chern-Simons gauge theory, we ... -
Invariance Theorems for Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theories
(Adv.Theor.Math.Phys., 2017-06-01)We consider quantum mechanical Yang-Mills theories with eight supercharges and a $Spin(5) \times SU(2)_R$ flavor symmetry. We show that all normalizable ground states in these gauge theories are invariant under this flavor ...
