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 a local root stack, generalizing previous work of the first two authors in collaboration with G. Pan. Haimans geometric construction for Macdonald polynomials is shown to emerge naturally in this context via geometric engineering. In particular this yields a new conjectural relation between Macdonald polynomials and refined local orbifold curve counting invariants. The string theoretic approach also leads to a new spectral cover construction for parabolic Higgs bundles in terms of holomorphic symplectic orbifolds.
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
F-theory compactifications on appropriate local elliptic Calabi-Yau manifolds engineer six dimensional superconformal field theories and their mass deformations. The partition function $Z_{top}$ of the refined topological string on these geometries c
We describe a categorification of the Double Affine Hecke Algebra ${mathcal{H}kern -.4emmathcal{H}}$ associated with an affine Lie algebra $widehat{mathfrak{g}}$, a categorification of the polynomial representation and a categorification of Macdonald
Mark Haiman has reduced Macdonald positivity conjecture to a statement about geometry of the Hilbert scheme of points on the plane, and formulated a generalization of the conjectures where the symmetric group is replaced by the wreath product $S_nlti
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
