Vertex Functions and Twisted Trace of K-theoretic Coulomb branches

This project explores the relationship between twisted traces on K-theoretic Coulomb branches, vertex functions of quasi-maps, and vertex operator algebra characters. Twisted traces provide a framework to understand quantum algebras and their symmetries, with potential applications in representation theory, mathematical physics, and geometry. The project aims to establish new connections between these areas, benefiting participating institutions by advancing foundational research and training scholars in cutting-edge theoretical methods.
