Abstract
We show that a recently conjectured form for perturbative supersymmetric partition functions on spheres of general dimension d is consistent with the flat space limit of 6-dimensional \( \mathcal{N} \) = 1 super Yang-Mills. We also show that the partition functions for \( \mathcal{N} \) =18-and9-dimensionaltheoriesareconsistentwiththeirknownflatspacelimits.
