Exact relativistic Toda chain eigenfunctions from Separation of Variables and gauge theory
We provide a proposal, motivated by Separation of Variables and gauge theory
arguments, for constructing exact solutions to the quantum Baxter equation
associated to the -particle relativistic Toda chain and test our proposal
against numerical results. Quantum Mechanical non-perturbative corrections,
essential in order to obtain a sensible solution, are taken into account in our
gauge theory approach by considering codimension two defects on curved
backgrounds (squashed and degenerate limits) rather than flat space; this
setting also naturally incorporates exact quantization conditions and energy
spectrum of the relativistic Toda chain as well as its modular dual structure.Comment: 85 pages, 6 tables, 21 figure
Developments in Quantum Cohomology and Quantum Integrable Hydrodynamics via Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
Next-generation HPC models for future Rotorcraft applications
Rotorcraft technologies pose great scientific and industrial challenges for numerical computing. As available computational resources approach the exascale, finer scales and therefore more accurate simulations of engineering test cases become accessible. However, shifting legacy workflows and optimizing parallel efficiency and scalability of existing software on new hardware is often demanding. This paper reports preliminary results in CFD and structural dynamics simulations using the T106A Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) blade geometry on Leonardo S.p.A.'s davinci-1 high-performance computing (HPC) facility. Time to solution and scalability are assessed for commercial packages Ansys Fluent, STAR-CCM+, and ABAQUS, and the open-source scientific computing framework PyFR. In direct numerical simulations of compressible fluid flow, normalized time to solution values obtained using PyFR are found to be up to 8 times smaller than those obtained using Fluent and STAR-CCM+. The findings extend to the incompressible case. All models offer weak and strong scaling in tests performed on up to 48 compute nodes, each with 4 Nvidia A100 GPUs. In linear elasticity simulations with ABAQUS, both the iterative solver and the direct solver provide speedup in preliminary scaling tests, with the iterative solver outperforming the direct solver in terms of time-to-solution and memory usage. The results provide a first indication of the potential of HPC architectures in scaling engineering applications towards certification by simulation, and the first step for the Company towards the use of cutting-edge HPC toolkits in the field of Rotorcraft technologies
Six-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories, quantum cohomology of instanton moduli spaces and gl(N) Quantum Intermediate Long Wave Hydrodynamics
We show that the exact partition function of U(N) six-dimensional gauge theory with eight supercharges on \u21022
7 S 2 provides the quantization of the integrable system of hydrodynamic type known as gl(N) periodic Intermediate Long Wave (ILW). We characterize this system as the hydrodynamic limit of elliptic Calogero-Moser integrable system. We compute the Bethe equations from the effective gauged linear sigma model on S 2 with target space the ADHM instanton moduli space, whose mirror computes the Yang-Yang function of gl(N) ILW. The quantum Hamiltonians are given by the local chiral ring observables of the six-dimensional gauge theory. As particular cases, these provide the gl(N) Benjamin-Ono and Korteweg-de Vries quantum Hamiltonians. In the four dimensional limit, we identify the local chiral ring observables with the conserved charges of Heisenberg plus W N algebrae, thus providing a gauge theoretical proof of AGT correspondence. \ua9 2014 The Author(s)
The stringy instanton partition function
We perform an exact computation of the gauged linear sigma model associated to a D1-D5 brane system on a resolved A 1 singularity. This is accomplished via supersymmetric localization on the blown-up two-sphere. We show that in the blow-down limit the partition function reduces to the Nekrasov partition function evaluating the equivariant volume of the instanton moduli space. For finite radius we obtain a tower of world-sheet instanton corrections, that we identify with the equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of the ADHM moduli space. We show that these corrections can be encoded in a deformation of the Seiberg-Witten prepotential. From the mathematical viewpoint, the D1-D5 system under study displays a twofold nature: the D1-branes viewpoint captures the equivariant quantum cohomology of the ADHM instanton moduli space in the Givental formalism, and the D5-branes viewpoint is related to higher rank equivariant Donaldson-Thomas invariants
On Monopole Bubbling Contributions to 't Hooft Loops
Monopole bubbling contributions to supersymmetric ’t Hooft loops in 4d = 2 theories are computed by SQM indices. As recently argued, those indices are hard to compute due to the presence of Coulomb vacua that are not captured by standard localization techniques. We propose an algorithmic method to compute the full bubbling contributions that circumvent this issue, by considering SQM with more matter fields and isolating the bubbling terms as residues in flavor fugacities. The enlarged SQMs are read from brane configurations realizing the bubbling sector of a given ’t Hooft loop. We apply our technique to loop operators in = 2 conformal SQCD theories. In addition we embed this discussion in the larger setup of a 5d-4d system interacting along a line, associated to the brane systems previously discussed. The bubbling terms arise from residues of specific instanton sectors of 5d line operators in this context.Monopole bubbling contributions to supersymmetric 't Hooft loops in 4d theories are computed by SQM indices.
