Partition function of N=(2,2) gauge theories on S^2 and vortices

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Sungjay Lee .

I will review the basics of rigid supersymmetry on curved spacetimes and of supersymmetric localisation and apply these methods to 2d N=(2,2) supersymmetric field theories of vector and chiral multiplets with a vector U(1) R-symmetry on the round 2-sphere. I will explain two different localisation schemes, leading to the ``Coulomb branch’’ and ``Higgs branch’’ representations of the partition function. Finally, I will briefly overview the potential of these exact results for the study of type II string compactifications, geometry and supersymmetric gauge theories in various dimensions.
