Fiber-Base Duality and Global Symmetry Enhancement

Abstract

We show that the 5D Nekrasov partition functions enjoy the enhanced global symmetry of the UV fixed point. The fiber-base duality is responsible for the global symmetry enhancement. For SU(2)SU(2) with Nf7N_f\leq 7 flavors the fiber-base symmetry together with the manifest flavor SO(2Nf)SO(2N_f) symmetry generate the ENf+1E_{N_f+1} global symmetry, while in the higher rank case the manifest global symmetry of the two dual theories related by the fiber-base duality map generate the symmetry enhancement. The symmetry enhancement at the level of the partition function is manifest once we chose an appropriate reparametrization for the Coulomb moduli.
