Instanton-torus knot duality in 5d SQED and $SU(2)$ SQCD

Abstract

We briefly review the instanton-torus knot duality found in 5d SUSY gauge theories with one compact dimension. The fermion condensate turn out to be the generating function for the torus knot polynomials colored by the fundamental representation.
