Abstract

We derive the first ϵ2\epsilon_2-correction to the instanton partition functions of N=2\mathcal{N}=2 Super Yang-Mills (SYM) in four dimensions in the Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit ϵ20\epsilon_2\rightarrow 0. In the latter we recall the emergence of the famous Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz-like equation which has been found by Mayer expansion techniques. Here we combine efficiently these to field theory arguments. In a nutshell, we find natural and resolutive the introduction of a new operator \nabla that distinguishes the singularities within and outside the integration contour of the partition function.
