A Strong Coupling Test of S-Duality

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-04-07 v2

Abstract

By studying the partition function of N=4N=4 topologically twisted supersymmetric Yang-Mills on four-manifolds, we make an exact strong coupling test of the Montonen-Olive strong-weak duality conjecture. Unexpected and exciting links are found with two-dimensional rational conformal field theory.
