Curved-space supersymmetry and Omega-background for 2d N=(2,2) theories, localization and vortices.

Abstract
I will present a systematic approach to two-dimensional N=(2,2) supersymmetric gauge theories in curved space, with a particular focus on the two-dimensional Omega deformation. I will explain how to compute Omega-deformed A-type topological correlation functions in purely field theoretic terms (i.e. without relying on a target-space picture), improving on previous techniques. The resulting general formula simplifies previous results in the Abelian (toric) case, while it leads to new results for non-Abelian GLSMs.
