Résumé : ’t Hooft anomalies are known to induce specific contributions to the effective action at finite temperature. We present a general method to directly calculate such contributions from the anomaly polynomial of a given theory, including a term which involves a U(1) connection for the thermal circle isometry. Based on this observation, we show that the asymptotic behavior of the superconformal index of 4dN = 1 theories on the “second sheet” can be calculated by integrating the anomaly polynomial on a particular background. The integration is then performed by an equivariant method to reproduce known results. Our method only depends on the anomaly polynomial and therefore the result is applicable to theories without known Lagrangian formulation. We also present a new formula that relates the behavior of 6dN = (1, 0) SCFTs on the second sheet to the anomaly polynomial.
