In this paper we compute the superconformal index of 2d (2, 2) supersymmetric gauge theories. The 2d superconformal index, a.k.a. flavored elliptic genus, is computed by a unitary matrix integral much like the matrix integral that computes 4d superconformal index. We compute the 2d index explicitly for a number of examples. In the case of abelian gauge theories we see that the index is invarian...

The classical Poincar\'e formula relates the rational homology classes of tautological cycles on a Jacobian to powers class Riemann theta divisor. We prove tropical analogue this formula. Along way, we several foundational results about real tori with integral structures (and, therefore, abelian varieties). For example, version Appell-Humbert theorem. also study various notions equivalences bet...

We give a derivation of the Verlinde formula for the Gk WZW model from Chern-Simons theory, without taking recourse to CFT, by calculating explicitly the partition function ZΣ×S1 of Σ × S 1 with an arbitrary number of labelled punctures. By a suitable gauge choice, ZΣ×S1 is reduced to the partition function of an Abelian topological field theory on Σ (a deformation of non-Abelian BF and Yang-Mi...

We discuss within the weak-field approximation and the derivative expansion how the area law of the Wilson loop follows directly from the vacuum condensate of mass dimension 2, i.e., simultaneous Bose-Einstein condensation of gluon pair and ghost-antighost pair. Such a novel vacuum condensate was recently claimed to exist as the non-vanishing vacuum expectation value of a BRST-invariant composi...

In this article, by using a partial on locally compact semi-direct product groups, we present a compatible extension of the Fourier transform. As a consequence, we extend the fundamental theorems of Abelian Fourier transform to non-Abelian case.

The ultimate objective of this paper is to create a stepping stone to the development of new quantum algorithms. The strategy chosen is to begin by focusing on the class of abelian quantum hidden subgroup algorithms, i.e., the class of abelian algorithms of the Shor/Simon genre. Our strategy is to make this class of algorithms as mathematically transparent as possible. By the phrase “mathematic...

it was shown in [a. azimifard, e. samei, n. spronk, jfa 256 (2009)] that the zl-amenability constant of a finite group is always at least~$1$, with equality if and only if the group is abelian. it was also shown in [a. azimifard, e. samei, n. spronk, op cit.] that for any finite non-abelian group this invariant is at least $301/300$, but the proof relies crucially on a deep result of d. a. ride...

We give a simple proof of an isomorphism between two C(t)-modules corresponding to bivariate polynomial H with non-degenerate highest homogeneous part: the module of relative cohomologies 2/dH ∧ 1 and the module of Abelian integrals. Using this isomorphism, we prove the existence and deduce some properties of the corresponding Picard–Fuchs system. Mathematics Subject Classification: 14D05, 32S4...
