Lie superalgebras and S-duality

Alexander Braverman University of Toronto
June 30, 2022 PIRSA:22060093
Mathematical physics
We present a series of (partly proven) conjectures
describing geometric realizations of
categories of (finite-dimensional) representations of quantum
super-groups U_q(g) corresponding
to Lie super-algebras g with reductive even part and a non-degenerate
invariant form.
We shall also discuss the meaning of these conjectures from the point
of view of local geometric Langlands correspondence as well as a
connection to the work of Ben-Zvi, Sakellaridis and Venkatesh.
Based on joint works with M.Finkelberg, V.Ginzburg and R.Travkin as
well as the work of R.Travkin and R.Yang.

Mathematical physics
I will discuss a close parallel between Gaiotto and Witten's S-duality for supersymmetric boundary conditions in 4d N=4 SYM and the relative Langlands program, an enhancement of the Langlands program that was developed to provide a framework for the theory of integral representations of L-functions. A special and conjecturally self-dual class of boundary conditions is provided by quantizations of "small" or "multiplicity-free" hamiltonian spaces called hyperspherical varieties. I'll explain how a hyperspherical variety produces objects of interest in all the different settings of the Langlands program (local / global, geometric / arithmetic) and a collection of conjectures providing S-dual descriptions of these objects. The talk is based on forthcoming joint work with Yiannis Sakellaridis and Akshay Venkatesh.

Mathematical physics
In this lecture I'll discuss various aspects of 4d N=2 and 5d N=1 supersymmetric QFT's in the 1/2 Omega-background (and along the way try to emphasize some relations to the 3d N=2 theories discussed in this workshop). Central to this story is the Nekrasov instanton partition function (or topological string partition function) in this background, which we will obtain through abelianization as an integral of a ratio of Wronskians of certain special solutions to the relevant Schrodinger equation. We will argue that a slight generalization of the above partition function solves an associated Riemann-Hilbert problem and defines a section of a distinguished line bundle over the moduli space of flat connections.

Abelian 3d mirror symmetry and boundary conditions

Mathematical physics
3d mirror symmetry predicts an equivalence between A- and B-twists of a pair of dual 3d N=4 theories. Essentially the strongest invariants one can produce of the resulting 3-dimensional topological field theories are their 2-categories of boundary conditions. The B-side 2-category was first described by Kapustin-Rozansky-Saulinas, but the 2-categorical structure on A-side boundary conditions has not previously been understood. For abelian gauge theories with matter, we propose a model for the 2-category of A-type boundary conditions using Kapranov-Schechtman's "perverse schobers," and we prove a 3d mirror equivalence between dual 2-categories. By reducing to lower-dimensions, we can recover both the BFN construction and the BLPW Koszul duality for hypertoric categories O. This is joint work with Justin Hilburn and Aaron Mazel-Gee.

I will continue the discussions on line defects and surface defects in class S theories, making connections to the construction of the quantum trace map, as well as to the exact WKB method for higher order ODEs.
