We prove that SU(N) bosonic Yang-Mills matrix integrals are convergent for dimension (number of matrices) $D\ge D_c$. It is already known that $D_c=5$ for N=2; we prove that $D_c=4$ for N=3 and that $D_c=3$ for $N\ge 4$. These results are…
Integrated correlation functions in $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang--Mills theory with gauge group $SU(N)$ can be expressed in terms of the localised $S^4$ partition function, $Z_N$, deformed by a mass $m$. Two such cases are…
We discuss bosonic and supersymmetric Yang-Mills matrix models with compact semi-simple gauge group. We begin by finding convergence conditions for the partition and correlation functions. Moving on, we specialise to the SU(N) models with…
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,…

The partition function of four dimensional Euclidean, non-supersymmetric SU(2) Yang--Mills theory is calculated in the perturbative and weak coupling regime i.e. in a small open ball about the flat connection (what we call the vicinity of…
We advocate a method to improve systematically the self-consistent harmonic approximation (or the Gaussian approximation), which has been employed extensively in condensed matter physics and statistical mechanics. We demonstrate the {\em…
We consider N = 4 Yang-Mills theory on a flat four-torus with the R-symmetry current coupled to a flat background connection. The partition function depends on the coupling constant of the theory, but when it is expanded in a power series…
We study the four-point function of the lowest-lying half-BPS operators in the ${\cal N} =4$ $SU(N)$ super-Yang-Mills theory and its relation to the flat-space four-graviton amplitude in type IIB superstring theory. We work in a large-$N$…
We study correlation functions in topologically twisted $\mathcal{N}=2, d=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory for gauge groups of rank larger than one on compact four-manifolds $X$. We find that the topological invariance of the generator…
We derive a formula for the BPS partition functions of arbitrary S-fold theories. We first generalize the known result for the ${\cal N}=4$ $U(N)$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory to $SO$ and $Sp$ theories, and then we extend the formula to…
We perform Monte Carlo calculation of correlation functions in 4d N=4 super Yang-Mills theory on R*S^3 in the planar limit. In order to circumvent the well-known problem of lattice SUSY, we adopt the idea of a novel large-N reduction, which…
We evaluate partition functions of matrix models which are given by topologically twisted and dimensionally reduced actions of d=4 N=1 super Yang-Mills theories with classical (semi-)simple gauge groups, SO(2N), SO(2N+1) and USp(2N). The…

We compute the partition function on S^3 of 3d N=4 theories which arise as the low-energy limit of 4d N=4 super Yang-Mills theory on a segment or on a junction, and propose its 1d interpretation. We show that the partition function can be…
It is shown by using localization that in five-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on a three-dimensional sphere, correlation functions in a sector are identical to correlation functions in two-dimensional bosonic Yang-Mills…
We study 7D maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on 3-Sasakian manifolds. For manifolds whose hyper-K\"ahler cones are hypertoric we derive the perturbative part of the partition function. The answer involves a special function that…
The partition function of a quantum field theory with an exact symmetry can be decomposed into a sum of functional integrals each giving the contribution from states with definite symmetry properties. The composition rules of the…
