Partition function of N = 2 โˆ— $$ \mathcal{N}={2}^{\ast } $$ SYM on a large four-sphere

Partition function of N = 2 โˆ— $$ \mathcal{N}={2}^{\ast } $$ SYM on a large four-sphere

We examine the partition function of $$ \mathcal{N}={2}^{\ast } $$ supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on the four-sphere in the large radius limit. We point out that the large radius partition function, at fixed N, is computed by saddle-points lying on walls of marginal stability on the Coulomb branch of the โ€ฆ
