HET Brown Bag Seminar | Cardy limit of the 3d superconformal index
Arash Ardehali
Cardy limit of SUSY indices in diverse dimensions are of interest for studying black hole microstates and supersymmetric gauge dynamics, among other things. This talk will review recent results on the Cardy limit of the superconformal index of rank-one 3d N=2 gauge theories. We shall encounter mathematical structures reminiscent of those in Seiberg-Witten theory. This motivates future attempts at applying some of the new 3d N=2 techniques to 4d N=2 theories.
