The $\mathcal{N}=1$ Chiral Multiplet on $T^2\times S^2$ and Supersymmetric Localization (1311.2430v3)
Abstract: We compute the supersymmetric partition function of an $\mathcal{N}=1$ chiral multiplet coupled to an external Abelian gauge field on complex manifolds with $T2 \times S2$ topology. The result is locally holomorphic in the complex structure moduli of $T2\times S2$. This computation illustrates in a simple example some recently obtained constraints on the parameter dependence of supersymmetric partition functions. We also devise a simple method to compute the chiral multiplet partition function on any four-manifold $\mathcal{M}_4$ preserving two supercharges of opposite chiralities, via supersymmetric localization. In the case of $\mathcal{M}_4=S3\times S1$, we provide a path integral derivation of the previously known result, the elliptic gamma function, which emphasizes its dependence on the $S3 \times S1$ complex structure moduli.
