Abstract

We calculate the instanton corrections in the effective prepotential for N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with all A-D-E gauge groups from the Seiberg-Witten geometry constructed out of the spectral curves of the affine Toda lattice. The one-instanton contribution is determined explicitly by solving the Gauss-Manin system associated with the A-D-E singularity. Our results are in complete agreement with the ones obtained from the microscopic instanton calculations.
