In these lectures, I give a pedagogical presentation of some of the recent progress in
supersymmetric Chern–Simons-matter theories, coming from the use of localization and …

This is a compact review of recent results on supersymmetric Wilson loops in ABJ (M) and
related theories. It aims to be a quick introduction to the state of the art in the field and a …

Abstract We study Euclidean 3D\(\mathcal {N}= 2\) supersymmetric gauge theories on
squashed three-spheres preserving isometries SU (2)× U (1) or U (1)× U (1). We show that …

We extend theformulaforpartitionfunctions of\(\mathcal {N}= 2\) superconformalgauge
theories on S 3 obtained recently by Kapustin, Willett and Yaakov, to incorporate matter …

The partition function of N= 6 supersymmetric Chern–Simons-matter theory (known as ABJM
theory) on S^ 3, as well as certain Wilson loop observables, are captured by a zero …

The Wilson loop operator in the U (N) k× U (N)-k Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena
theory at large N and fixed level k has a dual description in terms of a wrapped M2-brane in …

A bstract We consider a spherical region with a heavy quark in the middle. We compute the
extra entanglement entropy due to the presence of a heavy quark both in\(\mathcal {N}\)= 4 …

Localization methods reduce the path integrals in N≥ 2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons
gauge theories on S 3 to multimatrix integrals. A recent evaluation of such a two-matrix …

Abstract Recently, Kapustin, Willett and Yaakov have found, by using localization
techniques, that vacuum expectation values of Wilson loops in ABJM theory can be …

A bstract We study local operator insertions on 1/2-BPS line defects in ABJM theory.
Specifically, we consider a class of four-point correlators in the CFT 1 with SU (1, 1| 3) super …
