Gauge theories on compact toric manifolds
Abstract
We compute the supersymmetric partition function of a gauge theory on a four-dimensional compact toric manifold via equivariant localization. The result is given by a piecewise constant function of the K\"ahler form with jumps along the walls where the gauge symmetry gets enhanced. The partition function on such manifolds is written as a sum over the residues of a product of partition functions on . The evaluation of these residues is greatly simplified by using an "abstruse duality" that relates the residues at the poles of the one-loop and instanton parts of the partition function. As particular cases, our formulae compute the and {\it equivariant} Donaldson invariants of and and in the non-equivariant limit reproduce the results obtained via wall-crossing and blow up methods in the case. Finally, we show that the self-dual connections induce an anomalous dependence on the gauge coupling, which turns out to satisfy a analog of the holomorphic anomaly equations.
