%0 Report %D 2013 %T N=2 gauge theories on toric singularities, blow-up formulae and W-algebrae %A Giulio Bonelli %A Kazunobu Maruyoshi %A Alessandro Tanzini %A Futoshi Yagi %X We compute the Nekrasov partition function of gauge theories on the\r\n(resolved) toric singularities C^2/\\Gamma in terms of blow-up formulae. We\r\ndiscuss the expansion of the partition function in the \\epsilon_1,\\epsilon_2\r\n\\to 0 limit along with its modular properties and how to derive them from the\r\nM-theory perspective. On the two-dimensional conformal field theory side, our\r\nresults can be interpreted in terms of representations of the direct sum of\r\nHeisenberg plus W_N-algebrae with suitable central charges, which can be\r\ncomputed from the fan of the resolved toric variety.We provide a check of this\r\ncorrespondence by computing the central charge of the two-dimensional theory\r\nfrom the anomaly polynomial of M5-brane theory. Upon using the AGT\r\ncorrespondence our results provide a candidate for the conformal blocks and\r\nthree-point functions of a class of the two-dimensional CFTs which includes\r\nparafermionic theories. %I SISSA %G en %U http://hdl.handle.net/1963/6577 %1 6522 %2 Mathematics %4 -1 %$ Submitted by Alessandro Tanzini (tanzini@sissa.it) on 2013-04-04T10:00:01Z\nNo. of bitstreams: 1\n1208.0790v4.pdf: 372527 bytes, checksum: 5fae7067b646df2fca0b20daa82b5cff (MD5)
