Abstract
Starting from a theory on and dimensionally reducing, we compute the full partition function, including flux and instanton contributions, for an theory of vector multiplets and hypermultiplets on five-dimensional toric Sasakian manifolds . Dimensionally reducing, we obtain the partition function for Pestun-like theories on a class of manifolds whose topology is . Generalizing the procedure starting from branched covers of , we reduce to a theory on with codimension two twist defects. Exploiting a proposed equivalence with partition functions on spaces with orbifold singularities, our results provide the partition function of an theory on the product of two spindles.
