Abstract
We extend theformulaforpartitionfunctions of \(\mathcal{N}=2 \) superconformalgauge theories on S 3 obtained recently by Kapustin, Willett and Yaakov, to incorporate matter fields with arbitrary R-charge assignments. We use the result to check that the self-mirror property of \(\mathcal{N}=4 \) SQED with two electron hypermultiplets is preserved under a certain mass deformation which breaks the supersymmetry to \(\mathcal{N}=2 \).
