Abstract

We continue the study of a relationship between the instanton expansion of the Seiberg-Witten (SW) prepotential of D=4D = 4, N=2{\cal N }= 2 SU(2)SU(2) SUSY gauge theory and the monstrous moonshine. Extending the previous results, we show for the cases of Nf=2N_f=2 and 33 that q=e2πiτq=e^{2\pi i\tau}, where τ\tau is the complex gauge coupling, again has an expansion whose coefficients are all integer-coefficient polynomials of the moonshine coefficients of the modular jj-function in terms of an appropriate expansion variable. We also demonstrate that the new method of calculating the SW prepotential developed here is useful by performing some explicit computations.
