The result is locally holomorphic in the complex structure moduli of $T^2\\times S^2$. This computation illustrates in a simple example some recently obtained constraints on the parameter dependence of supersymmetric partition functions. We also devise a simple method to compute the chiral multiplet partition function on any four-manifold $\\mathcal{M}_4$ preserving two supercharges of opposite chiralities, via supersymmetric localization. In the case of $\\mathcal{M}_4=S^3\\times S^1$, we provide a path integral derivation of the previously known result, the elliptic gamma function, which emphasizes its dependence on the $S^3 \\times S^1$ complex structure moduli.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-03-04T00:47:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "supersymmetric localization", "supersymmetric partition function", "complex structure moduli", "chiral multiplet partition function", "external abelian gauge field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1007/JHEP03(2014)040", "journal": "Journal of High Energy Physics", "year": 2014, "month": "Mar", "volume": 2014, "pages": 40 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 39, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1264060, "adsabs": "2014JHEP...03..040C" } } }
