Factorisation of N = 2 theories on the squashed 3-sphere
read the original abstract
Partition functions of N=2 theories on the squashed 3-sphere have been recently shown to localise to matrix integrals. By explicitly evaluating the matrix integral we show that abelian partition functions can be expressed as a sum of products of two blocks. We identify the first block with the partition function of the vortex theory, with equivariant parameter hbar=2 Pi i b^2, defined on R^2 x S_1 corresponding to the b->0 degeneration of the ellipsoid. The second block gives the partition function of the vortex theory with equivariant parameter hbar^L=2 Pi i/b^2, on the dual R^2 x S_1 corresponding to the 1/b ->0 degeneration. The ellipsoid partition appears to provide the hbar -> hbar^L modular invariant non-perturbative completion of the vortex theory.

Meromorphic amplitudes from 3-dimensional supersymmetry
Coon amplitude equals 3d N=2 half-index of XYZ model with boundary conditions; IR flow gives Veneziano amplitude, and elliptic completion of q^ST yields a meromorphic positive version.

On non-relativistic integrable models and 4d SCFTs
Generalized Schur indices of N=2 class S theories are expressed using eigenfunctions of non-relativistic elliptic Calogero-Moser models, with extensions claimed for N=1 SCFTs via limits of models like Inozemtsev.
