We test in $(A_{n-1},A_{m-1})$ Argyres-Douglas theories with $mathrm{gcd}(n,m)=1$ the proposal of Songs in arXiv:1612.08956 that the Macdonald index gives a refined character of the dual chiral algebra. In particular, we extend the analysis to higher rank theories and Macdonald indices with surface operator, via the TQFT picture and Gaiotto-Rastelli-Razamats Higgsing method. We establish the prescription for refined characters in higher rank minimal models from the dual $(A_{n-1},A_{m-1})$ theories in the large $m$ limit, and then provide evidence for Songs proposal to hold (at least) in some simple modules (including the vacuum module) at finite $m$. We also discuss some observed mismatch in our approach.
We consider the refined topological vertex of Iqbal et al, as a function of two parameters (x, y), and deform it by introducing Macdonald parameters (q, t), as in the work of Vuletic on plane partitions, to obtain a Macdonald refined topological vert
A string theoretic derivation is given for the conjecture of Hausel, Letellier, and Rodriguez-Villegas on the cohomology of character varieties with marked points. Their formula is identified with a refined BPS expansion in the stable pair theory of
We give some evidences which imply that W(1+infinity) algebra describes the symmetry behind AGT(-W) conjecture: a correspondence between the partition function of N=2 supersymmetric quiver gauge theories and the correlators of Liouville (Toda) field theory.
We study the 2D vertex operator algebra (VOA) construction in 4D $mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFT) on $S^3 times S^1$, focusing both on old puzzles as well as new observations. The VOA lives on a two-torus $mathbb{T}^2subset S^3time
We consider the matrix model of $U(N)$ refined Chern-Simons theory on $S^3$ for the unknot. We derive a $q$-difference operator whose insertion in the matrix integral reproduces an infinite set of Ward identities which we interpret as $q$-Virasoro co
