Description
I will explain that the exact partition function of D-type N=4 quivers SCFTs on a three-sphere coincides with the partition function of a gas of free fermions in one dimension with a non-standard Hamiltonian. I will describe briefly the mirror dual quiver theories and show that mirror symmetry is expressed as a simple canonical transformation on the density operator of the quantum mechanics. Finally I will discuss the exact evaluation of the perturbative part of the free energy for these theories, which takes the form an Airy function, and emphasize the perspectives for holography.
