We consider a twisted version of the four-dimensional N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with gauge groups SU(2) and SO(3), and bare masses for two of its chiral multiplets, thereby breaking N=4 down to N=2. Using the wall-crossing…

We compute, in the large $N$ limit, the topologically twisted index of the 3d $T[SU(N)]$ theory, namely the partition function on $\Sigma_{\mathfrak{g}} \times S^1$, with a topological twist on the Riemann surface $\Sigma_{\mathfrak{g}}$.…
