Instantons and the 5D U(1) gauge theory with extra adjoint
read the original abstract
In this paper we compute the partition function of 5D supersymmetric U(1) gauge theory with extra adjoint matter in general $\Omega$-background. It is well known that such partition functions encode very rich topological information. We show in particular that unlike the case with no extra matter, the partition function with extra adjoint at some special values of the parameters directly reproduces the generating function for the Poincare polynomial of the moduli space of instantons. Comparing our results with those recently obtained by Iqbal et. al., who used the refined topological vertex method, we present our comments on apparent discrepancies.

Refined Vafa-Witten invariants for toric surfaces from supersymmetric localization in 5D gauge theory
5D N=1* supersymmetric localization on toric surfaces equals refined Vafa–Witten invariants for odd first Chern class; the even-c1 case fails without a hand-added constant.
