Abstract	We discuss instanton partition functions in various spacetime dimensions. These partition functions capture some information about the spectrum of the supersymmetric gauge theories and their low-energy dynamics. Some of these theories can be defined microscopically only through string theory. Remarkably, they even know about the M-theory. Our conjectures include the identities between the generalization of the MacMahon formula and the character of M-theory, compactified down to 0 + 1 dimension.
