To <strong>in</strong>troduce hypermultiplet masses <strong>in</strong> OSp(2|4) theory on S 4 :<br />

1 gauge the flavor symmetry<br />

2 give expectation value to Φ 0 <strong>in</strong> the flavor vector multiplet<br />

Remark on our conventions<br />

In the OSp(2|4) theory on S 4<br />

• m is real <strong>for</strong> positivity of the action<br />

• <strong>in</strong> con<strong>for</strong>mal theory m = 0<br />

• under localization m relates to Ω-background m Ω of<br />

[Nekrasov’02] as<br />

m Ω = ɛ 1 + ɛ 2<br />

The usual complex scalar field <strong>in</strong> N = 2 vector multiplet on R 4<br />

corresponds to a pair of real fields on S 4 : Φ 0 and Φ 9 .<br />
