Using the matrix-resolvent method and a formula of the second-named author on the $n$-point function for a KP tau-function, we show that the tau-function of an arbitrary solution to the Toda lattice hierarchy is a KP tau-function. We then…
We construct a hierarchy of supersymmetric string theories by showing that the general N-extended superstrings may be viewed as a special class of the (N+1)-extended superstrings. As a side result, we find a twisted (N+2) superconformal…
We review new aspects of integrable systems discovered recently in N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories and their topologically twisted versions. The main topics are (i) an explicit construction of Whitham deformations of the Seiberg-Witten…
The relation between the Seiberg-Witten prepotentials, Nekrasov functions and matrix models is discussed. We derive quasiclassically the matrix models of Eguchi-Yang type, describing the instantonic contribution to the deformed partition…
This is a short review of the construction of quasi-periodic (algebraic-geometrical) solutions to hierarchies of nonlinear integrable equations. As is well known, the solutions are expressed through Riemann's theta-functions associated with…
The non-isospectral symmetries of a general class of integrable hierarchies are found, generalizing the Galilean and scaling symmetries of the Korteweg--de Vries equation and its hierarchy. The symmetries arise in a very natural way from…
An old conjecture claims that commuting Hamiltonians of the double-elliptic integrable system are constructed from the theta-functions associated with Riemann surfaces from the Seiberg-Witten family, with moduli treated as dynamical…
The prepotentials for the quiver supersymmetric gauge theories are defined as quasiclassical tau-functions, depending on two different sets of variables: the parameters of the UV gauge theory or the bare compexified couplings, and the…
We present a systematic study of nonlinear and higher derivatives extensions of electromagnetism. We clarify when action functionals S[F] can be explicitly obtained from arbitrary (not necessarily self-dual) nonlinear equations of motion.…
Omega-deformation of the Seiberg-Witten curve is known to be written in terms of the qq-character, namely the trace of a specific operator acting in a Hilbert space spanned by certain Young diagrams. We define a differential form acting on…
We construct the general supersymmetry algebra via the adjoint action on a semi-Hopf algebra which has a more general structure than a Hopf algebra. As a result we have an extended supersymmetry theory with quantum gauge group, i.e.,…
A formula is given for the Seiberg-Witten invariants of a 4-manifold that is cut along certain kinds of 3-dimensional tori. The formula involves a Seiberg-Witten invariant for each of the resulting pieces.
We consider a class of non-unitary Toda theories based on the Lie superalgebras $A^{(1)}(n,n)$ in two-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, which can be twisted into a topological sector. In particular we study the simplest example with $n=1$…
The Seiberg-Witten map links noncommutative gauge theories to ordinary gauge theories, and allows to express the noncommutative variables in terms of the commutative ones. Its explicit form can be found order by order in the noncommutative…
We discuss the correspondence between degenerate fields of the W_N algebra and punctures of Gaiotto's description of the Seiberg-Witten curve of N=2 superconformal gauge theories. Namely, we find that the type of degenerate fields of the…
In this paper we generalize the Sato theory to the extended bigraded Toda hierarchy (EBTH). We revise the definition of the Lax equations,give the Sato equations, wave operators, Hirota bilinear identities (HBI) and show the existence of…
The complete first order theories of the exponential differential equations of semiabelian varieties are given. It is shown that these theories also arises from an amalgamation-with-predimension construction in the style of Hrushovski. The…
We construct dimer graphs for relativistic Toda chains associated with classical untwisted Lie algebras of A, B, C$_0$, C$_\pi$, D types and twisted A, D types. We show that the Seiberg-Witten curve of 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$ pure supersymmetric…
In the present paper we obtain some integrable generalisations of the Toda system generated by flat connection forms taking values in higher ${\bf Z}$--grading subspaces of a simple Lie algebra, and construct their general solutions. One…
A construction of general solutions of the \hbar-dependent Toda hierarchy is presented. The construction is based on a Riemann-Hilbert problem for the pairs (L,M) and (\bar L,\bar M) of Lax and Orlov-Schulman operators. This Riemann-Hilbert…
