Entanglement Negativity and Defect Extremal Surface

We study entanglement negativity for evaporating black hole based on the holographic model with defect brane. We introduce a defect extremal surface formula for entanglement negativity. Based on partial reduction, we show the equivalence between defect extremal surface formula and island formula for entanglement negativity in AdS$_3$/BCFT$_2$. Extending the study to the model of eternal black hole plus CFT bath, we find that black hole-black hole negativity decreases until vanishing, left black hole-left radiation negativity is always a constant, radiation-radiation negativity increases and then saturates at a time later than Page time. In all the time dependent cases, defect extremal surface formula agrees with island formula.

Orthosymplectic Superinstanton Counting and Brane Dynamics

We extend the study of superinstantons presented in 1905.01513 to include orthosymplectic supergroup gauge theories, $B_{n_0|n_1}$, $C_n$, and $D_{n_0|n_1}$. We utilize equivariant localization to obtain the LMNS contour integral formula for the instanton partition function, and we investigate the Seiberg--Witten geometries associated with these theories. We also explore the brane configurations involving positive and negative branes together with O-planes that realize the orthosymplectic supergroup theories.

Instantons on Young diagrams with matters

We present the unrefined instanton partition functions of various 5d gauge theories with matter beyond the fundamental representation as sums over Young diagrams. By using these explicit expressions, we verify a range of identities among the instanton partition functions predicted by Higgsing procedures of fivebrane web diagrams and representation theory.
