Abstract

We study properties of the full partition function for the U(1)U(1) 5D N=2\mathcal{N}=2^* gauge theory with adjoint hypermultiplet of mass MM. This theory is ultimately related to abelian 6D (2,0) theory. We construct the full non-perturbative partition function on toric Sasaki-Einstein manifolds by gluing flat copies of the Nekrasov partition function and we express the full partition function in terms of the generalized double elliptic gamma function G2CG_2^C associated with a certain moment map cone CC. The answer exhibits a curious SL(4,Z)SL(4,\mathbb{Z}) modular property. Finally, we propose a set of rules to construct the partition function that resembles the calculation of 5D supersymmetric partition function with the insertion of defects of various co-dimensions.
