Seiberg-Witten Theories on Ellipsoids
read the original abstract
We present a set of equations for a 4D Killing spinor which guarantees the Seiberg-Witten theories on a curved background to be supersymmetric. The equations involve an SU(2) gauge field and some auxiliary fields in addition to the metric. Four-dimensional ellipsoids with U(1)xU(1) isometry are shown to admit a supersymmetry if these additional fields are chosen appropriately. We compute the partition function of general Seiberg-Witten theories on ellipsoids, and the result suggests a correspondence with 2D Liouville or Toda correlators with general coupling constant b.

From Weyl Anomaly to Defect Supersymmetric R\'enyi Entropy and Casimir Energy
In 6D (2,0) theories, defect supersymmetric Rényi entropy contribution is linear in 1/n and equals a constant times (2b - d2); Casimir energy contribution equals -d2 (up to constant) in the chiral algebra limit.
