New Beta Integral from Supersymmetric Gauge Theory on Projective Space
We derive a new beta-type basic hypergeometric integral identity from the equality of supersymmetric partition functions on $\mathbb{RP}^{2}\times\mathbb{S}^{1}$. Unlike previously known identities obtained from lens-space partition functions, this integral does not appear to arise as a degeneration of the lens elliptic beta integral. Our result enriches the collection of basic hypergeometric beta integrals arising from supersymmetric dualities and has applications to supersymmetric gauge theories, integrable models, and the theory of special functions.
