Tests of Seiberg-like dualities in three dimensions
We use localization techniques to study several duality proposals for supersymmetric gauge theories in three dimensions reminiscent of Seiberg duality. We compare the partition functions of dual theories deformed by real mass terms and FI parameters.

Abstract Mars Sample Return (MSR) is the next major frontier in Mars exploration, through which advanced laboratory instrumentation will be used to study Martian samples and answer key questions surrounding Mars' planetary evolution and astrobiology. Non‐destructive, high‐resolution imaging will be critical for preliminary MSR analyses.

The colored Jones polynomials as vortex partition functions
We construct 3D N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 abelian gauge theories on S $$ \mathbbm{S} $$ 2 × S $$ \mathbbm{S} $$ 1 labeled by knot diagrams whose K-theoretic vortex partition functions, each of which is a building block of twisted indices, give the colored ...

Roman Jackiw and Chern–Simons theories [PDF]
I recount my personal experience interacting with Roman Jackiw in the 1980s, when we both worked on Chern-Simons theories in three dimensions.

Cohomogeneity‐one solitons in Laplacian flow: Local, smoothly‐closing and steady solitons
Abstract We initiate a systematic study of cohomogeneity‐one solitons in Bryant's Laplacian flow of closed G2$\text{G}_2$‐structures on a 7‐manifold, motivated by the problem of understanding finite‐time singularities of that flow. Here, we focus on solitons with symmetry groups Sp(2)${\rm Sp}(2)$ and SU(3)${\rm SU}(3)$; in both cases, we prove the ...

Coulomb branch algebras via symplectic cohomology
Abstract Let (M¯,ω)$(\bar{M}, \omega)$ be a compact symplectic manifold with convex boundary and c1(TM¯)=0$c_1(T\bar{M})=0$. Suppose that (M¯,ω)$(\bar{M}, \omega)$ is equipped with a convex Hamiltonian G$G$‐action for some connected, compact Lie group G$G$.

Exact results and Schur expansions in quiver Chern-Simons-matter theories
We study several quiver Chern-Simons-matter theories on the three-sphere, combining the matrix model formulation with a systematic use of Mordell’s integral, computing partition functions and checking dualities.

Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory and an ambiguity in Chern-Simons perturbation theory
Abstract We calculate the one-loop effective potential for a matter scalar field in the N =2 supersymmetric Maxwell-Chern-Simons model. It is found that the degeneracy of the classical potential is not lifted by radiative corrections. We show that reduction to the effective potential for the Chern-Simons theory as a limit from the Maxwell-Chern ...

Engineering Topological Phases with a Traveling‐Wave Spacetime Modulation
Time‐varying systems have garnered considerable attention due to their unique potential in manipulating electromagnetic waves. Here, a novel class of topological spacetime crystals with a traveling‐wave modulation is introduced. By manipulating material anisotropy, one can engineer light angular momentum and non‐trivial topological phases characterized
