Higgs branch localization of N = 1 theories on S 3 × S 1

Abstract

We apply the method of Higgs branch localization to the N = 1 supersymmetric partition function on S 3 × S 1. As a result, we show that it can be written as the product of an elliptic vortex and anti-vortex partition function summed over a finite number of Higgs vacua. © 2014 The Author(s).
