A few years ago it was shown that the superconformal index of the N= 4 supersymmetric SU
(N) Yang-Mills theory in the large N limit matches with the entropy of 1/16-supersymmetric …

We consider the insertion of a Gukov-Witten surface defect in SU (N) N= 4 SYM
corresponding to a probe D3-brane in the holographic dual setup. The defect gives rise to a …

It has been proposed that the superconformal index admits a novel reformulation, called
giant graviton expansion. In this paper, we investigate the properties of dual $ AdS_5 …

We show the existence of infinitely many Bethe expansions for general four dimensional
superconformal theories. We then propose an analytic method to systematically obtain all …

In the recent past, a new paradigm for the notion of symmetry in QFTs became dominant. It is
based on the necessity to include higher-form symmetries and the corresponding extended …

Quantum field theory (QFT) stands as one of the most remarkable mathematical frameworks
for understanding fundamental particles and their interactions. Its predictive power has …
