We find a family of complex saddle-points at large N of the matrix model for the superconformal index of SU(N) N=4 super Yang-Mills theory on $S^3 times S^1$ with one chemical potential $tau$. The saddle-point configurations are labelled by points $(m,n)$ on the lattice $Lambda_tau= mathbb{Z} tau +mathbb{Z}$ with $text{gcd}(m,n)=1$. The eigenvalues at a given saddle are uniformly distributed along a string winding $(m,n)$ times along the $(A,B)$ cycles of the torus $mathbb{C}/Lambda_tau$. The action of the matrix model extended to the torus is closely related to the Bloch-Wigner elliptic dilogarithm, and the related Bloch formula allows us to calculate the action at the saddle-points in terms of real-analytic Eisenstein series. The actions of $(0,1)$ and $(1,0)$ agree with that of pure AdS$_5$ and the supersymmetric AdS$_5$ black hole, respectively. The black hole saddle dominates the canonical ensemble when $tau$ is close to the origin, and there are new saddles that dominate when $tau$ approaches rational points. The extension of the action in terms of modular forms leads to a simple treatment of the Cardy-like limit $tauto 0$.

We consider a class of N=2 conformal SU(N) SYM theories in four dimensions with matter in the fundamental, two-index symmetric and anti-symmetric representations, and study the corresponding matrix model provided by localization on a sphere S4, which
also encodes information on flat-space observables involving chiral operators and circular BPS Wilson loops. We review and improve known techniques for studying the matrix model in the large-N limit, deriving explicit expressions in perturbation theory for these observables. We exploit both recursive methods in the so-called full Lie algebra approach and the more standard Cartan sub-algebra approach based on the eigenvalue distribution. The sub-class of conformal theories for which the number of fundamental hypermultiplets does not scale with N differs in the planar limit from the N=4 SYM theory only in observables involving chiral operators of odd dimension. In this case we are able to derive compact expressions which allow to push the small t Hooft coupling expansion to very high orders. We argue that the perturbative series have a finite radius of convergence and extrapolate them numerically to intermediate couplings. This is preliminary to an analytic investigation of the strong coupling behavior, which would be very interesting given that for such theories holographic duals have been proposed.
We study mass deformations of $mathcal{N}=4$, $d=4$ SYM theory that are spatially modulated in one spatial dimension and preserve some residual supersymmetry. We focus on generalisations of $mathcal{N}=1^*$ theories and show that it is also possible,
for suitably chosen supersymmetric masses, to preserve $d=3$ conformal symmetry associated with a co-dimension one interface. Holographic solutions can be constructed using $D=5$ theories of gravity that arise from consistent truncations of $SO(6)$ gauged supergravity and hence type IIB supergravity. For the mass deformations that preserve $d=3$ superconformal symmetry we construct a rich set of Janus solutions of $mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory which have the same coupling constant on either side of the interface. Limiting classes of these solutions give rise to RG interface solutions with $mathcal{N}=4$ SYM on one side of the interface and the Leigh-Strassler (LS) SCFT on the other, and also to a Janus solution for the LS theory. Another limiting solution is a new supersymmetric $AdS_4times S^1times S^5$ solution of type IIB supergravity.
In this note, I describe the space of vacua $mathcal{V}$ of four dimensional $mathcal{N}=4$ SYM on $mathbb{R}^4$ with gauge group a compact simple Lie Group $G$ as a stratified space. On each stratum, the low energy effective field theory is differen
t. This language allows one to make precise the idea of moving in the space of vacua $mathcal{V}$. A particular subset of the strata of $mathcal{N}=4$ SYM can be efficiently described using the theory of sheets in a Lie algebra. For these strata, I study the conjectural action of S-duality. I also indicate some benefits of using such a language for the study of the available space of vacua $overline{mathcal{V}}$ on the boundary of GL twisted $mathcal{N}=4$ SYM on a half-space $mathbb{R}^3 times mathbb{R}^+$. As an application of boundary symmetry breaking, I indicate how a) the Local Nilpotent Cone arises as part of the available symmetry breaking choices on the boundary of the four dimensional theory and b) the Global Nilpotent Cone arises in the theory reduced down to two dimensions on a Riemann Surface $C$. These geometries play a critical role in the Local and Global Geometric Langlands Program(s).
We compute four-point correlation functions of scalar composite operators in the N=4 supercurrent multiplet at order g^4 using the N=1 superfield formalism. We confirm the interpretation of short-distance logarithmic behaviours in terms of anomalous
dimensions of unprotected operators exchanged in the intermediate channels and we determine the two-loop contribution to the anomalous dimension of the N=4 Konishi supermultiplet.
We compute the one-loop non-holomorphic effective potential for the N=4 SU(n) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with the gauge symmetry broken down to the maximal torus. Our approach remains powerful for arbitrary gauge groups and is based on the use
of N=2 harmonic superspace formulation for general N=2 Yang-Mills theories along with the superfield background field method.
