Abstract

We obtain the elliptic curve corresponding to an N=2N=2 superconformal field theory which has an E6E_6 global symmetry at the strong coupling point τ=eπi/3\tau=e^{\pi i/3}. We also find the Seiberg-Witten differential λSW\lambda_{SW} for this theory. This differential has 27 poles corresponding to the fundamental representation of E6E_6. The complex conjugate representation has its poles on the other sheet. We also show that the E6E_6 curve reduces to the D4D_4 curve of Seiberg and Witten. Finally, we compute the monodromies and use these to compute BPS masses in an FF-Theory compactification.
