Superconformal indices of 4d \N=1 SYM theories with SU(N) and SP(2N) gauge groups are investigated for N_f=N and N_f=N+1 flavors, respectively. These indices vanish for generic values of the flavor fugacities. However, for a singular submanifold of fugacities they behave like the Dirac delta functions and describe the chiral symmetry breaking phenomenon. Similar picture holds for partition functions of 3d supersymmetric field theories with the chiral symmetry breaking.

Half-BPS Boundaries and the RG-Wall of $\mathcal{N}=2$ $SU(N)$ SYM
A massive deformation of the T[SU(N)] theory is identified as the 3d SCFT realizing the RG-wall and half-BPS boundaries in 4d N=2 SU(N) SYM.
