  3. Localization Localization method is a powerful tool to exactly compute some physical quantities in quantum field theories. i.e. Partition function, vev of Wilson loop in super Yang-Mills (SYM) theories in 4d, super Chern-Simons-matter theories in 3d, SYM in 5d, … M-theory(M2, M5-brane), AdS/CFT,…

  8. Our Results Asano, Ishiki, Okada, SS JHEP1302, 148 (2013) • We also obtain the partition functions of N=8 • SYM on RxS2and N=4 SYM on RxS3/Zkfrom • that of PWMM by taking limits corresponding • to “commutative limit of fuzzy sphere” and • “T-duality in gauge theory”. • We show that, in our computation, the partition • function of N=4 SYM on RxS3(N=4 SYM on • RxS3/Zk with k=1) is given by the gaussian • matrix model. • This is consistent with the known result of • N=4 SYM.
