Abstract

In this paper the partition function of N=4 D=0 super Yang-Mills matrix theory with arbitrary simple gauge group is discussed. We explicitly computed its value for all classical groups of rank up to 11 and for the exceptional groups G_2, F_4 and E_6. In the case of classical groups of arbitrary rank we conjecture general formulas for the B_r, C_r and D_r series in addition to the known result for the A_r series. Also, the relevant boundary term contributing to the Witten index of the corresponding supersymmetric quantum mechanics has been explicitly computed as a simple function of rank for the orthogonal and symplectic groups SO(2N+1), Sp(2N), SO(2N).
