Abstract

This is the 5th article in the collection of reviews "Exact results on N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories", ed. J. Teschner. We review the supersymmetric localization of N=2\mathcal{N}=2 theories on curved backgrounds in four dimensions using N=2\mathcal{N}=2 supergravity and generalised conformal Killing spinors. We review some known backgrounds and give examples of new geometries such as local T2T^2-bundle fibrations. We discuss in detail a topological four-sphere with generic T2T^2-invariant metric.
