This is an introductory review to localization techniques in supersymmetric two-dimensional gauge theories. In particular we describe how to construct Lagrangians of N=(2,2) theories on curved spaces, and how to compute their partition functions and certain correlators on the sphere, the hemisphere and other curved backgrounds. We also describe how to evaluate the partition function of N=(0,2) theories on the torus, known as the elliptic genus. Finally we summarize some of the applications, in particular to probe mirror symmetry and other non-perturbative dualities.

  1. Localisation of $\mathcal{N} = (2,2)$ theories on spindles of both twists

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A general formula is derived for the exact partition function of abelian vector and charged chiral multiplets on both twisted and anti-twisted spindles.

  2. Hyperfunctions in $A$-model Localization

    hep-th 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Derives a distributional real-line integral formula for abelian observables in A-twisted N=(2,2) theories on S², verifies it on the CP^{N-1} GLSM correlator, and uses hyperfunctions to equate it with contour integrals...
