Title: Superconformal Algebras and Holomorphic Field Theories
Abstract We show that four-dimensional superconformal algebras admit an infinite-dimensional derived enhancement after performing a holomorphic twist. The type of higher symmetry algebras we find is closely related to algebras studied by Faonte–Hennion–Kapranov, Hennion–Kapranov, and the second author with Gwilliam in the context of holomorphic QFT. We show that these algebras are related to the two-dimensional chiral algebras extracted from four-dimensional superconformal theories by Beem and collaborators; further deforming by a superconformal element induces the Koszul resolution of a plane in $$\mathbb {C}^2 \cong {\mathbb {R}}^4$$ C 2 R 4 . The central charges at the level of chiral algebras arise from central extensions of the higher symmetry algebras.  more » « less

  1. Abstract We prove that the Hilbert scheme ofkpoints on$${\mathbb {C}}^2$$ C 2 ($$\hbox {Hilb}^k[{\mathbb {C}}^2]$$ Hilb k [ C 2 ] ) is self-dual under three-dimensional mirror symmetry using methods of geometry and integrability. Namely, we demonstrate that the corresponding quantum equivariant K-theory is invariant upon interchanging its Kähler and equivariant parameters as well as inverting the weight of the$${\mathbb {C}}^\times _\hbar $$ C ħ × -action. First, we find a two-parameter family$$X_{k,l}$$ X k , l of self-mirror quiver varieties of type A and study their quantum K-theory algebras. The desired quantum K-theory of$$\hbox {Hilb}^k[{\mathbb {C}}^2]$$ Hilb k [ C 2 ] is obtained via direct limit$$l\longrightarrow \infty $$ l and by imposing certain periodic boundary conditions on the quiver data. Throughout the proof, we employ the quantum/classical (q-Langlands) correspondence between XXZ Bethe Ansatz equations and spaces of twisted$$\hbar $$ ħ -opers. In the end, we propose the 3d mirror dual for the moduli spaces of torsion-free rank-Nsheaves on$${\mathbb {P}}^2$$ P 2 with the help of a different (three-parametric) family of type A quiver varieties with known mirror dual.

  2. It has recently been understood that the complete global symmetry of finite group topological gauge theories contains the structure of a higher-group. Here we study the higher-group structure in (3+1)D\mathbb{Z}_2 2 gauge theory with an emergent fermion, and point out that pumping chiralp+ip p + i p topological states gives rise to a\mathbb{Z}_{8} 8 0-form symmetry with mixed gravitational anomaly. This ordinary symmetry mixes with the other higher symmetries to form a 3-group structure, which we examine in detail. We then show that in the context of stabilizer quantum codes, one can obtain logical CCZ and CS gates by placing the code on a discretization ofT^3 T 3 (3-torus) andT^2 \rtimes_{C_2} S^1 T 2 C 2 S 1 (2-torus bundle over the circle) respectively, and pumpingp+ip p + i p states. Our considerations also imply the possibility of a logicalT T gate by placing the code on\mathbb{RP}^3 3 and pumping ap+ip p + i p topological state.

  3. Abstract We study holomorphic mapsFfrom a smooth Levi non-degenerate real hypersurface$$ M_{\ell }\subset {\mathbb {C}}^n $$ M C n into a hyperquadric$$ {\mathbb {H}}_{\ell '}^N $$ H N with signatures$$ \ell \le (n-1)/2 $$ ( n - 1 ) / 2 and$$ \ell '\le (N-1)/2,$$ ( N - 1 ) / 2 , respectively. Assuming that$$ N - n < n - 1,$$ N - n < n - 1 , we prove that if$$ \ell = \ell ',$$ = , thenFis either CR transversal to$$ {\mathbb {H}}_{\ell }^N $$ H N at every point of$$ M_{\ell },$$ M , or it maps a neighborhood of$$ M_{\ell } $$ M in$$ {\mathbb {C}}^n $$ C n into$$ {\mathbb {H}}_{\ell }^N.$$ H N . Furthermore, in the case where$$ \ell ' > \ell ,$$ > , we show that ifFis not CR transversal at$$0\in M_\ell ,$$ 0 M , then it must be transversally flat. The latter is best possible.

  4. Abstract In this paper we prove a higher dimensional analogue of Carleson’s$$\varepsilon ^{2}$$ ε 2 conjecture. Given two arbitrary disjoint Borel sets$$\Omega ^{+},\Omega ^{-}\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$$ Ω + , Ω R n + 1 , and$$x\in \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$$ x R n + 1 ,$$r>0$$ r > 0 , we denote$$ \varepsilon _{n}(x,r) := \frac{1}{r^{n}}\, \inf _{H^{+}} \mathcal{H}^{n} \left ( ((\partial B(x,r)\cap H^{+}) \setminus \Omega ^{+}) \cup (( \partial B(x,r)\cap H^{-}) \setminus \Omega ^{-})\right ), $$ ε n ( x , r ) : = 1 r n inf H + H n ( ( ( B ( x , r ) H + ) Ω + ) ( ( B ( x , r ) H ) Ω ) ) , where the infimum is taken over all open affine half-spaces$$H^{+}$$ H + such that$$x \in \partial H^{+}$$ x H + and we define$$H^{-}= \mathbb{R}^{n+1} \setminus \overline{H^{+}}$$ H = R n + 1 H + . Our first main result asserts that the set of points$$x\in \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$$ x R n + 1 where$$ \int _{0}^{1} \varepsilon _{n}(x,r)^{2} \, \frac{dr}{r}< \infty $$ 0 1 ε n ( x , r ) 2 d r r < is$$n$$ n -rectifiable. For our second main result we assume that$$\Omega ^{+}$$ Ω + ,$$\Omega ^{-}$$ Ω are open and that$$\Omega ^{+}\cup \Omega ^{-}$$ Ω + Ω satisfies the capacity density condition. For each$$x \in \partial \Omega ^{+} \cup \partial \Omega ^{-}$$ x Ω + Ω and$$r>0$$ r > 0 , we denote by$$\alpha ^{\pm }(x,r)$$ α ± ( x , r ) the characteristic constant of the (spherical) open sets$$\Omega ^{\pm }\cap \partial B(x,r)$$ Ω ± B ( x , r ) . We show that, up to a set of$$\mathcal{H}^{n}$$ H n measure zero,$$x$$ x is a tangent point for both$$\partial \Omega ^{+}$$ Ω + and$$\partial \Omega ^{-}$$ Ω if and only if$$ \int _{0}^{1} \min (1,\alpha ^{+}(x,r) + \alpha ^{-}(x,r) -2) \frac{dr}{r} < \infty . $$ 0 1 min ( 1 , α + ( x , r ) + α ( x , r ) 2 ) d r r < . The first result is new even in the plane and the second one improves and extends to higher dimensions the$$\varepsilon ^{2}$$ ε 2 conjecture of Carleson.

  5. Abstract This article revisits the problem of global well-posedness for the generalized parabolic Anderson model on$$\mathbb {R}^+\times \mathbb {T}^2$$ R + × T 2 within the framework of paracontrolled calculus (Gubinelli et al. in Forum Math, 2015). The model is given by the equation:$$\begin{aligned} (\partial _t-\Delta ) u=F(u)\eta \end{aligned}$$ ( t - Δ ) u = F ( u ) η where$$\eta \in C^{-1-\kappa }$$ η C - 1 - κ with$$1/6>\kappa >0$$ 1 / 6 > κ > 0 , and$$F\in C_b^2(\mathbb {R})$$ F C b 2 ( R ) . Assume that$$\eta \in C^{-1-\kappa }$$ η C - 1 - κ and can be lifted to enhanced noise, we derive new a priori bounds. The key idea follows from the recent work by Chandra et al. (A priori bounds for 2-d generalised Parabolic Anderson Model,,2024), to represent the leading error term as a transport type term, and our techniques encompass the paracontrolled calculus, the maximum principle, and the localization approach (i.e. high-low frequency argument).
