Title:
Partition functions from localization methods
Speaker:
Abstract:
Sometimes localization theorems can be used to reduce averages of periodic functions to sums over fixed-points of a moment map. After introducing one such localization mechanism and briefly remarking its potential to study averages such as partition functions of gauge theories, the talk will focus on explaining how this mechanism applies to the superconformal index of four-dimensional N = 4 SYM, and how it compares to the Bethe-ansatz approach.
