Abstract: We study the $heta$ dependence of four-dimensional SU($N$) gauge theories, for $Ngeq3$ and in the large-N limit. We use numerical simulations of the Wilson lattice formulation of gauge theories to compute the first few terms of the expansion of the ground-state energy $F(heta)$ around $heta=0$, $F(heta)-F(0)=A_{2}het{a}^2(1+b_{2}het{a}^2+\mathrm{...})$. Our results support Witten's conjecture: $F(heta)-F(0)=calAhet{a}^2+O(1/N)$ for sufficiently small values of $heta$, $heta<pi$. Indeed we verify that the topological susceptibility has a nonzero large-N limit $ch{i}_{i}nfty=2calA$ with corrections of $O(1/N^2)$, in substantial agreement with the Witten-Veneziano formula which relates $ch{i}_{i}nfty$ to the $et{a}^{p}rime$ mass. Furthermore, higher order terms in $heta$ are suppressed; in particular, the $O(het{a}^4)$ term $b_2$ (related to the $et{a}^{p}rime-et{a}^{p}rime$ elastic scattering amplitude) turns out to be quite small: $b_2=-0.023(7)$ for N=3, and its absolute value decreases with increasing $N$, consistently with the expectation $b_2=O(1/N^2)$.
