Using exact results obtained from localization on S^4, we explore the large N limit of N=2 super-Yang-Mills theories with massive matter multiplets. We focus on three cases: N=2* theory, describing a massive hypermultiplet in the adjoint representation, SU(N) super-Yang-Mills with 2N massive hypermultiplets in the fundamental, and super-QCD with massive quarks. When the radius of the four-sphere is sent to infinity the theories at hand are described by solvable matrix models, which exhibit a number of interesting phenomena including quantum phase transitions at finite 't Hooft coupling.

  1. Two-point functions in $4-2\,\varepsilon$ dimensions from localization

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Localization yields all-loop leading-ε results for two-point functions in 4-2ε SYM that agree with flat-space perturbation at O(ε) and motivate a conjecture for the dimension-two operator at O(ε²).

  2. More on phase transitions in ${\cal N}$ = 2 massive gauge theories

    hep-th 2025-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Mass deforming an N=2 superconformal theory with two different masses produces a third-order phase transition at finite 't Hooft coupling.
