Global Properties of Supersymmetric Theories and the Lens Space
Brian Willett
1:30pm|Bloomberg Hall Physics Library

We use the "lens space index", i.e., the partition function on S^3/Z_r x S^1, to study certain properties of four dimensional gauge theories related to the global structure of the gauge group. We show that the lens space index, unlike the ordinary...
