The geometry of supersymmetric partition functions

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr Dorigoni .

I will consider supersymmetric field theories on compact manifolds M and obtain constraints on the dependence of their partition functions Z_M on the geometry of M. For N=1 theories with a U(1) R symmetry in four dimensions, M must be a complex manifold with a Hermitian metric. I will show how to describe the theory in terms of twisted variables that facilitate analyzing the dependence of Z_M on the parameters entering the Lagrangian. I will also show that Z_M is “almost” topological: Z_M is independent of the Hermitian metric and depends holomorphically on the complex structure moduli.
