We consider the half-genus expansion of the resolvent function in the $\beta$-deformed matrix model with three-Penner potential under the AGT conjecture and the $0d-4d$ dictionary. The partition function of the model, after the…
We construct the duality groups for N=2 Supersymmetric QCD with gauge group SU(2n+1) and N_f=4n+2 hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. The groups are generated by two elements $S$ and $T$ that satisfy a relation…
An $S$-matrix is proposed for the two dimensional O(3) $\sigma$-model with a dynamical $\theta$-term (axion model). Exploiting an Abelian T-duality transformation connecting the axion model to an integrable SU(2)$\times$U(1) symmetric…
We study the equivalence/duality between various non-commutative gauge models at the classical and quantum level. The duality is realised by a linear Seiberg-Witten-like map. The infinitesimal form of this map is analysed in more details.
In this paper we continue the investigation, within the context of the Dijkgraaf-Vafa Programme, of Seiberg duality in matrix models as initiated in hep-th/0211202, by allowing degenerate mass deformations. In this case, there are some…
The problem of quantum equivalence between non-linear sigma models related by Abelian or non-Abelian T-duality is studied in perturbation theory. Using the anomalous Ward identity for Weyl symmetry we derive a relation between the Weyl…
We study 4D N=2 superconformal theories that arise from the compactification of 6D N=(2,0) theories of type A_{2N-1} on a Riemann surface C, in the presence of punctures twisted by a Z_2 outer automorphism. We describe how to do a complete…
We investigate and review how Fourier transform is involved in the analysis of a twisted group algebra $L^1(G, \sigma)$ for $G=\widehat{\Gamma}\times \Gamma$ and $\sigma:G\times G \to \mathbb{T}$ 2- cocycle where $\Gamma$ is a locally…
We uncover novel solutions of the 't Hooft anomaly matching conditions for scalarless gauge theories with matter transforming according to higher dimensional representations of the underlying gauge group. We argue that, if the duals exist,…
Duality in supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theory with a symmetric tensor is studied using the technique of deconfining and Seiberg's duality. By construction the gauge group of the dual theory necessarily becomes a product group. In order to…
We derive a beta-integral over $\mathbb{Z}\times \mathbb{R}$ , which is a counterpart of the Dougall $_5H_5$-formula and of the de Branges--Wilson integral, our integral includes $_{10}H_{10}$-summation. For a derivation we use a…
We study the Nekrasov partition function of the five dimensional U(N) gauge theory with maximal supersymmetry on R^4 x S^1 in the presence of codimension two defects. The codimension two defects can be described either as monodromy defects,…
The equations of motion for a conformal field theory in the presence of defect lines can be derived from an action that includes contributions from bibranes. For T-dual toroidal compactifications, they imply a direct relation between…
Compactification of 6d N=(2,0) theory of type G on a punctured Riemann surface has been effectively used to understand S-dualities of 4d N=2 theories. We can further introduce branch cuts on the Riemann surface across which the worldvolume…
The Seiberg-Witten solution of N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theories with matter is analysed as an isomonodromy problem. We show that the holomorphic section describing the effective action can be deformed by moving its singularities on…
We study the beta-function of the N=2 sigma-model coupled to N=2 induced supergravity. We compute corrections to first order in the semiclassical limit, $c \to -\infty$, beyond one-loop in the matter fields. As compared to the corresponding…
We study an analog of the AGT relation in five dimensions. We conjecture that the instanton partition function of 5D N=1 pure SU(2) gauge theory coincides with the inner product of the Gaiotto-like state in the deformed Virasoro algebra. In…
We calculate some infinite sums containing the digamma function in closed-form. These sums are related either to the incomplete beta function or to the Bessel functions. The calculations yield interesting new results as by-products, such as…
We study Saito duality and Fourier-Ramanujan transform for power sums and multiplicities of monodromy roots.
Seiberg-Witten theory can be embedded in F-theory using D3 branes probing an orientifold geometry. The non-perturbative corrections in the orientifold picture map directly to the instanton corrections in the corresponding gauge theory that…
