Abstract

We use localization techniques to calculate the Euclidean partition functions for N=1\mathcal{N}=1 theories on four-dimensional manifolds MM of the form S1×M3S^1 \times M_3, where M3M_3 is a circle bundle over a Riemann surface. These are generalizations of the N=1\mathcal{N}=1 indices in four-dimensions including the lens space index. We show that these generalized indices are holomorphic functions of the complex structure moduli on MM. We exhibit the deformation by background flat connections.
