Exact partition function in U(2)×U(2)U(2)\times U(2) ABJM theory deformed by mass and Fayet-Iliopoulos terms

Abstract

We exactly compute the partition function for U(2)k×U(2)kU(2)_k\times U(2)_{-k} ABJM theory on S3\mathbb S^3 deformed by mass mm and Fayet-Iliopoulos parameter ζ\zeta . For k=1,2k=1,2, the partition function has an infinite number of Lee-Yang zeros. For general kk, in the decompactification limit the theory exhibits a quantum (first-order) phase transition at m=2ζm=2\zeta .Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure. v2: references adde
