Quantum geometry and θ-angle in five-dimensional super Yang-Mills

Abstract Five-dimensional Sp(N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills admits a ℤ2 version of a theta angle θ. In this note, we derive a double quantization of the Seiberg-Witten geometry of N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 Sp(1) gauge theory at θ = π, on the manifold S 1 × ℝ4. Crucially, ℝ4 is placed on the Ω-background...
