SUMMARY:The Nekrasov-Shatashvili Limit of the 5D Superconformal Index - Co

DESCRIPTION:I will motivate and introduce the Nekrasov-Shatashvili (NS) li
 mit of the five-dimensional N=1 superconformal index. I will then summaris
 e recent results of Cordova and Shao\, who related the so-called Schur lim
 it of the four-dimensional N=2 index to the BPS spectrum of 4D theories on
  the Coulomb branch. Finally\, I will describe how the technology of Cordo
 va-Shao can also reproduce the NS index in 5D for simple examples of U(1) 
 theories. In this picture\, the 5D instanton solitons are interpreted as a
 dditional flavour nodes to an associated 5D BPS quiver.\n
