Abstract We construct a large class of gauge theories with extended supersymmetry on four-dimensional manifolds with a Killing vector field and isolated fixed points. We extend previous results limited to super Yang-Mills theory to general $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 gauge theories including hypermultiplets. We present a general framework encompassing equivariant Donaldson-Witten theory and Pestun’s theory on S4 as two particular cases. This is achieved by expressing fields in cohomological variables, whose features are dictated by supersymmetry and require a generalized notion of self-duality for two-forms and of chirality for spinors. Finally, we implement localization techniques to compute the exact partition function of the cohomological theories we built up and write the explicit result for manifolds with diverse topologies.

It is of interest to study supergravity solutions preserving a nonminimal fraction of supersymmetries. A necessary condition for supersymmetry to be preserved is that the space-time admits a Killing spinor and hence a null or time-like Killing vector field. Any space-time admitting a covariantly constant null vector (CCNV) field belongs to the Kundt class of metrics and more importantly admits a null Killing vector field. We investigate the existence of additional non-space-like isometries in the class of higher-dimensional CCNV Kundt metrics in order to produce potential solutions that preserve some supersymmetries.

In this paper, we characterize neutral Kähler surfaces in terms of their positive twistor bundle. We prove that an O+,+(2,2)-oriented four-dimensional neutral semi-Riemannian manifold (M,g) admits a complex structure J with ΩJ∈⋀−M, such that (M,g,J) is a neutral-Kähler manifold if and only if the twistor bundle (Z1(M),gc) admits a vertical Killing vector field.
