5D AGT Conjecture for Circular Quivers Explored
Analysis
Key Takeaways
- •Extends the AGT correspondence to 5D circular quiver gauge theories.
- •Uses free-field formalism and integral representations.
- •Verifies equivalence between conformal blocks and instanton/defect partition functions.
- •Provides a new approach to derive equations for Shiraishi functions.
“The paper checks equivalence with instanton partition function of a 5d circular quiver gauge theory...and with partition function of a defect in the same theory, also known as the Shiraishi function.”
