We apply the numerical conformal bootstrap to correlators of Coulomb and Higgs branch operators in $4d$ $mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal theories. We start by revisiting previous results on single correlators of Coulomb branch operators. In particular, we present improved bounds on OPE coefficients for some selected Argyres-Douglas models, and compare them to recent work where the same cofficients were obtained in the limit of large $r$ charge. There is solid agreement between all the approaches. The improved bounds can be used to extract an approximate spectrum of the Argyres-Douglas models, which can then be used as a guide in order to corner these theories to numerical islands in the space of conformal dimensions. When there is a flavor symmetry present, we complement the analysis by including mixed correlators of Coulomb branch operators and the moment map, a Higgs branch operator which sits in the same multiplet as the flavor current. After calculating the relevant superconformal blocks we apply the numerical machinery to the mixed system. We put general constraints on CFT data appearing in the new channels, with particular emphasis on the simplest Argyres-Douglas model with non-trivial flavor symmetry.

We develop new techniques for computing exact correlation functions of a class of local operators, including certain monopole operators, in three-dimensional $mathcal{N} = 4$ abelian gauge theories that have superconformal infrared limits. These oper
ators are position-dependent linear combinations of Coulomb branch operators. They form a one-dimensional topological sector that encodes a deformation quantization of the Coulomb branch chiral ring, and their correlation functions completely fix the ($nleq 3$)-point functions of all half-BPS Coulomb branch operators. Using these results, we provide new derivations of the conformal dimension of half-BPS monopole operators as well as new and detailed tests of mirror symmetry. Our main approach involves supersymmetric localization on a hemisphere $HS^3$ with half-BPS boundary conditions, where operator insertions within the hemisphere are represented by certain shift operators acting on the $HS^3$ wavefunction. By gluing a pair of such wavefunctions, we obtain correlators on $S^3$ with an arbitrary number of operator insertions. Finally, we show that our results can be recovered by dimensionally reducing the Schur index of 4D $mathcal{N} = 2$ theories decorated by BPS t Hooft-Wilson loops.
Under reasonable assumptions about the complex structure of the set of singularities on the Coulomb branch of $mathcal N=2$ superconformal field theories, we present a relatively simple and elementary argument showing that the scaling dimension, $Del
ta$, of a Coulomb branch operator of a rank $r$ theory is allowed to take values in a finite set of rational numbers$Deltain big[frac{n}{m}big|n,minmathbb N, 0<mle n, gcd(n,m)=1, varphi(n)le2rbig]$ where $varphi(n)$ is the Euler totient function. The maximal dimension grows superlinearly with rank as $Delta_text{max} sim r lnln r$. This agrees with the recent result of Caorsi and Cecotti.
We develop an approach to the study of Coulomb branch operators in 3D $mathcal{N}=4$ gauge theories and the associated quantization structure of their Coulomb branches. This structure is encoded in a one-dimensional TQFT subsector of the full 3D theo
ry, which we describe by combining several techniques and ideas. The answer takes the form of an associative and noncommutative star product algebra on the Coulomb branch. For `good and `ugly theories (according to the Gaiotto-Witten classification), we also exhibit a trace map on this algebra, which allows for the computation of correlation functions and, in particular, guarantees that the star product satisfies a truncation condition. This work extends previous work on abelian theories to the non-abelian case by quantifying the monopole bubbling that describes screening of GNO boundary conditions. In our approach, monopole bubbling is determined from the algebraic consistency of the OPE. This also yields a physical proof of the Bullimore-Dimofte-Gaiotto abelianization description of the Coulomb branch.
The relative coefficients of higher derivative interactions of the IIB effective action of the form C^4, (D F_5)^4, F_5^8, ... (where C is the Weyl tensor and F_5 is the five-form field strength) are motivated by supersymmetry arguments. It is shown
that the classical supergravity solution for N parallel D3-branes is unaltered by this combination of terms. The non-vanishing of zeroC^2 in this background (where zero C is the background value of the Weyl tensor) leads to effective O(1/alpha) interactions, such as C^2 and Lambda^8 (where Lambda is the dilatino). These contain D-instanton contributions in addition to tree and one-loop terms. The near horizon limit of the N D3-brane system describes a multi-AdS_5xS^5 geometry that is dual to calN=4 SU(N) Yang-Mills theory spontaneously broken to S(U(M_1)x...xU(M_r)). Here, the N D3-branes are grouped into r coincident bunches with M_r in each group, with M_r/N = m_r fixed as N goes to infinity. The boundary correlation function of eight Lambdas is constructed explicitly. The second part of the paper considers effects of a constrained instanton in this large-N Yang-Mills theory by an extension of the analysis of Dorey, Hollowood and Khoze of the one-instanton measure at finite N. This makes precise the correspondence with the supergravity D-instanton measure at leading order in the 1/N expansion. However, the duality between instanton-induced correlation functions in Yang-Mills theory and the dual supergravity is somewhat obscured by complications relating to the structure of constrained instantons.
Four-dimensional $mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, at a point on the Coulomb branch where $SU(N)$ gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken to $SU(N-1)times U(1)$, admits BPS solitons describing a spherical shell of electric and/or magnet
ic charges enclosing a region of unbroken gauge symmetry. These solitons have been proposed as gauge theory models for certain features of asymptotically flat extremal black holes. In the t Hooft large $N$ limit with large t Hooft coupling, these solitons are holographically dual to certain probe D3-branes in the $AdS_5 times S^5$ solution of type IIB supergravity. By studying linearised perturbations of these D3-branes, we show that the solitons support quasinormal modes with a spectrum of frequencies sharing both qualitative and quantitative features with asymptotically flat extremal black holes.
