About me

I did my PhD study from 2019 to 2022 in University of Warsaw under the supervision of Piotr Sułkowski. I initiated research skills from 2016 to 2019 in UESTC by collaborating with Sung-Soo Kim. I was a postdoc in Fudan University in the group of Satoshi Nawata.

Recently, I move to SIMIS as a junior faculty.

My email is mirror2718@gmail.com

Research interests

I am mainly focusing on physical and geometric aspects of 3d gauge theories, including:

Recent work

New Result!

Oct-12-2023, Surgery Constructions for 3d Theories, Part I: Matter Circles and Links, arXiv:2310.07624.

This project is difficult to me, as I often feel having no tool to address the problem. Although the computation is little, the amout of thinking is a lot. Finally, it looks that the result opens a door to a colorful garden, in which I can see some familiar trees and flowers (MTC, category, higher form symmetries) are already there waiting for me. Some parts of working notes are aviliable here (II).


Aug-02-2023, 3d N=2 theories and plumbing graphs: adding matter, gauging, and new dualities, arXiv:2302.13371 was accepted by JHEP.

This paper studies the dualities of abelian theories. We proposed a new quiver diagram --- plumbing graphs with matter nodes. We notice that the bifundamental matter is a bit subtle. After a few weeks of trying to break the barrier of understanding and to derive superpotential triangles, everything is smoothly and quickly done. The brane web is also a bit subtle. After this work, I can clearly see that there should be a closed relation between 3d theories and operations on three-manifolds. Some parts of working notes (I, II) are attached.
