We propose a Nekrasov-type formula for the instanton partition functions of four-dimensional N=2 U(2) gauge theories coupled to (A_1,D_{2n}) Argyres-Douglas theories. This is carried out by extending the generalized AGT correspondence to the case of U(2) gauge group, which requires us to define irregular states of the direct sum of Virasoro and Heisenberg algebras. Using our formula, one can evaluate the contribution of the (A_1,D_{2n}) theory at each fixed point on the U(2) instanton moduli space. As an application, we evaluate the instanton partition function of the (A_3,A_3) theory to find it in a peculiar relation to that of SU(2) gauge theory with four fundamental flavors. From this relation, we read off how the S-duality group acts on the UV gauge coupling of the (A_3,A_3) theory.

We make a preliminary investigation into twisted $A_{2n}$ theories of class S. Contrary to a common piece of folklore, we establish that theories of this type realise a variety of models of Argyres-Douglas type while utilising only regular punctures.
We present an in-depth analysis of all twisted $A_2$ trinion theories, analyse their interrelations via partial Higgsing, and discuss some of their generalised S-dualities.
We construct a new class of three-dimensional topological quantum field theories (3d TQFTs) by considering generalized Argyres-Douglas theories on $S^1 times M_3$ with a non-trivial holonomy of a discrete global symmetry along the $S^1$. For the mini
mal choice of the holonomy, the resulting 3d TQFTs are non-unitary and semisimple, thus distinguishing themselves from theories of Chern-Simons and Rozansky-Witten types respectively. Changing the holonomy performs a Galois transformation on the TQFT, which can sometimes give rise to more familiar unitary theories such as the $(G_2)_1$ and $(F_4)_1$ Chern-Simons theories. Our construction is based on an intriguing relation between topologically twisted partition functions, wild Hitchin characters, and chiral algebras which, when combined together, relate Coulomb branch and Higgs branch data of the same 4d $mathcal{N}=2$ theory. We test our proposal by applying localization techniques to the conjectural $mathcal{N}=1$ UV Lagrangian descriptions of the $(A_1,A_2)$, $(A_1,A_3)$ and $(A_1,D_3)$ theories.
We compute the Schur index of Argyres-Douglas theories of type $(A_{N-1},A_{M-1})$ with surface operators inserted, via the Higgsing prescription proposed by D. Gaiotto, L. Rastelli and S. S. Razamat. These surface operators are obtained by turning o
n position-dependent vacuum expectation values of operators in a UV theory which can flow to the Argyres-Douglas theories. We focus on two series of $(A_{N-1},A_{M-1})$ theories; one with ${rm gcd}(N,M)=1$ and the other with $M=N(k-1)$ for an integer $kgeq 2$. For these two series of Argyres-Douglas theories, our results are identical to the characters of non-vacuum modules of the associated 2d chiral algebras, which explicitly confirms a remarkable correspondence recently discovered by C. Cordova, D. Gaiotto and S.-H. Shao.
We use Coulomb branch indices of Argyres-Douglas theories on $S^1 times L(k,1)$ to quantize moduli spaces ${cal M}_H$ of wild/irregular Hitchin systems. In particular, we obtain formulae for the wild Hitchin characters -- the graded dimensions of the
Hilbert spaces from quantization -- for four infinite families of ${cal M}_H$, giving access to many interesting geometric and topological data of these moduli spaces. We observe that the wild Hitchin characters can always be written as a sum over fixed points in ${cal M}_H$ under the $U(1)$ Hitchin action, and a limit of them can be identified with matrix elements of the modular transform $ST^kS$ in certain two-dimensional chiral algebras. Although naturally fitting into the geometric Langlands program, the appearance of chiral algebras, which was known previously to be associated with Schur operators but not Coulomb branch operators, is somewhat surprising.
Argyres-Douglas theories constitute an important class of superconformal field theories in $4$d. The main focus of this paper is on two infinite families of such theories, known as $D^b_p(mathrm{SO}(2N))$ and $(A_m, D_n)$. We analyze in depth their c
onformal manifolds. In doing so we encounter several theories of class $mathcal{S}$ of twisted $A_{text{odd}}$, twisted $A_{text{even}}$ and twisted $D$ types associated with a sphere with one twisted irregular puncture and one twisted regular puncture. These models include $D_p(G)$ theories, with $G$ non-simply-laced algebras. A number of new properties of such theories are discussed in detail, along with new SCFTs that arise from partially closing the twisted regular puncture. Moreover, we systematically present the $3$d mirror theories, also known as the magnetic quivers, for the $D^b_p(mathrm{SO}(2N))$ theories, with $p geq b$, and the $(A_m, D_n)$ theories, with arbitrary $m$ and $n$. We also discuss the $3$d reduction and mirror theories of certain $D^b_p(mathrm{SO}(2N))$ theories, with $p < b$, where the former arises from gauging topological symmetries of some $T^sigma_rho[mathrm{SO}(2M)]$ theories that are not manifest in the Lagrangian description of the latter.
