Abstract: We compute the planar limit of both the free energy and the expectation value of the 1/2 BPS Wilson loop for four dimensional calN=2 superconformal quiver theories, with a product of SU(N)s as gauge group and bi-fundamental matter. Supersymmetric localization reduces the problem to a multi-matrix model, that we rewrite in the zero-instanton sector as an effective action involving an infinite number of double-trace terms, determined by the relevant extended Cartan matrix. We find that the results, as in the case of mathcalN=2 SCFTs with a simple gauge group, can be written as sums over tree graphs. For the widehatA1 case, we find that the contribution of each tree can be interpreted as the partition function of a generalized Ising model defined on the tree; we conjecture that the partition functions of these models defined on trees satisfy the Lee-Yang property, i.e. all their zeros lie on the unit circle.
