Non-Connected Gauge Groups and the Plethystic Program

Understand

We present in the context of supersymmetric gauge theories an extension of the Weyl integration formula, first discovered by Robert Wendt, which applies to a class of non-connected Lie groups.

• This allows to count in a systematic way gauge-invariant chiral operators for these non-connected gauge groups.
• Applying this technique to $\mathrm{O}(n)$, we obtain, via the ADHM construction, the Hilbert series for certain instanton moduli spaces.
• We validate our general method and check our results via a Coulomb branch computation, using three-dimensional mirror symmetry.
