ABCD of ’t Hooft operators

Abstract We compute by supersymmetric localization the expectation values of half-BPS ’t Hooft line operators in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 U(N ), SO(N ) and USp(N ) gauge theories on S 1 × ℝ3 with an Ω-deformation. We evaluate the non-perturbative contributions due to monopole screening by calculating...

Description
Summary:Abstract We compute by supersymmetric localization the expectation values of half-BPS ’t Hooft line operators in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 U(N ), SO(N ) and USp(N ) gauge theories on S 1 × ℝ3 with an Ω-deformation. We evaluate the non-perturbative contributions due to monopole screening by calculating the supersymmetric indices of the corresponding supersymmetric quantum mechanics, which we obtain by realizing the gauge theories and the ’t Hooft operators using branes and orientifolds in type II string theories.
