Dynamics of SCFTs and Special Functions

Organized by:  Shlomo Sergei Razamat and Masahito Yamazaki Recent years have seen significant progress in understanding the dynamics of supersymmetric quantum field theories in various space-time dimensions. This progress was partly due to the development of various localization techniques leading to exact computations of certain partition functions. Such computations can be expressed in terms of … Read more
