-deformed SYM on a Gibbons-Hawking space

Abstract: We study an mathcalN=2, pure U(1) SYM theory on a Gibbons-Hawking space Omega-deformed using the U(1) isometry. The resultant 3D theory, after an appropriate "Nekrasov-Witten" change of variables, is asymptotically equivalent to the undeformed theory at spatial infinity but differs from it as one approaches the NUT centers which are fixed points under the U(1) action. The 3D theory may be recast in the form of a generalized hyperk"ahler sigma model introduced in cite{Dey:2014lja} where the target space is a one-parameter family of hyperk"ahler spaces. The hyperk"ahler fibers have a preferred complex structure which for the deformed theory depends on the parameter of Omega-deformation. The metric on the hyperk"ahler fiber can be reduced to a standard metric on mathbbCimesT2 with the modular parameter of the torus depending explicitly on the Omega-deformation parameter. The contribution of the NUT center to the sigma model path integral, expected to be a holomorphic section of a holomorphic line bundle over the target space on grounds of supersymmetry, turns out to be a Jacobi theta function in terms of certain "deformed" variables.
