Partition function on Hopf surfaces and supersymmetric Casimir energy

Download to your calendar using vCal

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

I will discuss the partition function of 4d N=1 theories on Hopf surfaces. These are diffeomorphic to S1 x S3 and the partition function provides a path integral realization of the supersymmetric index. Its large S^1 limit exhibits a universal behaviour associated to the existence of a non-vanishing vacuum energy. I will argue that this Casimir energy is intrinsic (scheme-independent) and can be computed as the vev of the Hamiltonian in the free limit of the theory.
