On the 4d superconformal index near roots of unity: bulk and localized contributions

Abstract We study the expansion near roots of unity of the superconformal index of 4d SU(N) 𝒩 = 4 SYM. In such an expansion, middle-dimensional walls of non-analyticity are shown to emerge in the complex analytic extension of the integrand. These walls intersect the integration contour at infinitesi...
