Global Properties of Supersymmetric Theories and the Lens Space
Brian Willett
1:30pm|Bloomberg Hall Physics Library

We use the "lens space index", i.e., the partition function on S^3/Z_r x S^1, to study certain properties of four dimensional gauge theories related to the global structure of the gauge group. We show that the lens space index, unlike the ordinary...

Quantum field theory on (complete) light cones and regge theory
Simon Caron-Huot
1:30pm|IAS, Bloomberg Hall Physics Library
I will discus quantum field theory operators supported on 'complete' light cones, which are a certain completion of ordinary light cones that I will define in the talk. I will show, by a simple conformal transformation, that in CFTs and near-CFTs...
