Abstract

In my lecture I consider integrals over moduli spaces of supersymmetric gauge field configurations (instantons, Higgs bundles, torsion free sheaves). The applications are twofold: physical and mathematical; they involve supersymmetric quantum mechanics of D-particles in various dimensions, direct computation of the celebrated Seiberg-Witten prepotential, sum rules for the solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations and their relation to the Laumon's nilpotent cone. As a by-product we derive some combinatoric identities involving the sums over Young tableaux.
