Exact results in four-dimensional Gauge Theories from Matrix models
Abstract
We use localization and the Seiberg-Witten curve to exactly compute supersymmetric observables in different N = 2 four-dimensional theories. We first consider N = 2
SQCD with gauge group SU(2) and two massive flavors. We compute the exact free energy, including all instanton contributions, and show that the theory undergoes a second-order quantum phase transition at a critical coupling. In the second part, we use localization to compute large N correlation functions in superconformal field theories.- Publication:
