In this note we present a formula for the equivariant index of the cohomological complex obtained from localization of $\mathcal{N}=2$ SYM on simply-connected compact four-manifolds with a $T^2$-action. Knowledge of said index is essential…

We present a simple closed form expression for the topologically twisted index of the ABJM theory as a function of the magnetic fluxes and complex chemical potentials valid at fixed $k$ and to all orders in the $1/N$ expansion. This in turn…

We consider topological twists of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric QCD with gauge group SU(2) and $N_f\leq 3$ fundamental hypermultiplets. The twists are labelled by a choice of background fluxes for the flavour group, which…
