Abstract We study chiral rings of 4d $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories via the notion of K-stability. We show that when using Hilbert series to perform the computations of Futaki invariants, it is not enough to only include the test symmetry information in the former’s denominator. We discuss a way to modify the numerator so that K-stability can be correctly determined, and a rescaling method is also applied to simplify the calculations involving test configurations. All of these are illustrated with a host of examples, by considering vacuum moduli spaces of various theories. Using Gröbner basis and plethystic techniques, many non-complete intersections can also be addressed, thus expanding the list of known theories in the literature.

Abstract We revisit the factorisation of supersymmetric partition functions of 3d $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 gauge theories. The building blocks are hemisphere partition functions of a class of UV $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (2, 2) boundary conditions that mimic the presence of isolated vacua at infinity in the presence of real mass and FI parameters. These building blocks can be unambiguously defined and computed using supersymmetric localisation. We show that certain limits of these hemisphere partition functions coincide with characters of lowest weight Verma mod- ules over the quantised Higgs and Coulomb branch chiral rings. This leads to expressions for the superconformal index, twisted index and S3 partition function in terms of such characters. On the way we uncover new connections between boundary ’t Hooft anomalies, hemisphere partition functions and lowest weights of Verma modules.
