The character of the supersymmetric Casimir energy

We study the supersymmetric Casimir energy Esusy of N = 1 field theories with an R-symmetry, defined on rigid supersymmetric backgrounds S1 x M3, using a Hamiltonian formalism. These backgrounds admit an ambi-Hermitian geometry, and we show that the net contributions to Esusy arise from certain twis...
