A slow review of the AGT correspondence

B Le Floch - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Starting with a gentle approach to the Alday–Gaiotto–Tachikawa (AGT) correspondence
from its 6d origin, these notes provide a wide (albeit shallow) survey of the literature on …

Partition Functions of Gauge Theories on S 2 and Vortices

F Benini, S Cremonesi - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2015 - Springer
We apply localization techniques to compute the partition function of a two-dimensional
