Abstract
We evaluate the topologically twisted index of a general four-dimensional N= 1 gauge theory in the “high-temperature” limit. The index is the partition function for N= 1 theories on S2× T2, with a partial topological twist along S2, in the presence of background magnetic fluxes and fugacities for the global symmetries. We show that the logarithm of the index is proportional to the conformal anomaly coefficient of the two-dimensional N= (0 2) SCFTs obtained from the compactification on S2. We also present a universal formula for extracting the index from the four-dimensional conformal anomaly coefficient and its derivatives. We give examples based on theories whose holographic duals are black strings in type IIB backgrounds AdS5× SE5, where SE5 are five-dimensional Sasaki-Einstein spacesFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
