The partition function of 3d N=2 superconformal theories on the

3-sphere can be computed exactly by localization methods. I will explain

some sublteties associated to that important result. As a by-product, this

analysis establishes the so-called F-maximization principle for N=2 SCFTs in

3d: the exact superconformal R-charge maximizes the 3-sphere free energy

F=-log Z.
