Abstract

We study partition function of four-dimensional N=1\mathcal{N}=1 supersymmetric field theory on T2×S2T^2 \times S^2. By applying supersymmetry localization, we show that the T2×S2T^2 \times S^2 partition function is given by elliptic genus of certain two-dimensional N=(0,2)\mathcal{N}=(0,2) theory. As an application, we discuss a relation between 4d Seiberg duality duality and 2d (0,2)(0,2) triality, proposed by Gadde, Gukov and Putrov. In other examples, we identify 4d theories giving elliptic genera of K3, M-strings and E-strings. In the example of K3, we find that there are two 4d theories giving the elliptic genus of K3. This would imply new four-dimensional duality.
