Emergent 3-manifold from 4d Superconformal Index    [PDF]

Yuji Terashima, Masahito Yamazaki

We propose an equality between (1) the 4d superconformal index of a 4d N=1 superconformal quiver gauge theory described by a bipartite graph on T^2 and (2) the partition function of a classical integrable spin chain on T^2.The 2d spin system is lifted to a hyperbolic 3-manifold after the dimensional reduction and the Higgsing of the 4d gauge theory.
