N=2 SUSY gauge theories on S4
Abstract
We review exact results in N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories defined on S4 and its deformation. We first summarize the construction of rigid SUSY theories on curved backgrounds based on off-shell supergravity, then explain how to apply localization principle to supersymmetric path integrals. Closed formulae for partition function as well as expectation values of non-local BPS observables are presented.
