Abstract: (Springer)
We study the effective gravitational couplings of four-dimensional gauge theories with eight supercharges. The class of theories we analyse are arrived at via Kaluza-Klein compactification of five-dimensional gauge theories. We consider both pure SU(N) Yang-Mills theories with Chern-Simons couplings and the conformal gauge theories with 2N fundamental flavours. The resolvent of the gauge theory plays a crucial role in the calculation of these gravitational couplings. The results obtained from the Seiberg-Witten geometry are matched against independent computations using localisation.Note:
