Abstract
We conjecture the form of the one-loop determinants for localized gauge theories with eight supersymmetries on -dimensional spheres. Combining this with results for the localized action, we investigate the strong coupling behavior in the large limit for a continuous range of . In particular, we find the dependence of the free energy for supersymmetric Yang-Mills with only a vector multiplet in and for maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills in . We also argue that this gives an effective way to regularize divergences after localization in for gauge theories and for the maximally supersymmetric case.
