On supersymmetric localization technique in three-dimensional superconformal theories

Seminars

SEMINAR “MODERN MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS”


On Wednesday, 2 November 2016, at 2.30 pm in the Conference Hall (4th floor) of the Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics a seminar “On supersymmetric localization technique in three-dimensional superconformal theories” will be held.

Speaker: Igor Samsonov (The University of Western Australia and BLTP)

Abstract:

Originating from the seminal Pestun’s work in 2007, the supersymmetric localization technique became a powerful framework for obtaining exact non-perturbative results in supersymmetric models in diverse dimensions. After a brief introduction to the idea of this method, I will review its features for the case of three-dimensional superconformal theories. Then I will discuss some issues of application of this method to superfield theories on three-sphere.
