A complete construction of the AFLT states is proposed. With this construction and for all the cases we have checked, the AGT conjecture on the equivalence of Nekrasov Instanton Counting (NIC) to the $Vir\oplus u(1)$ conformal block has…
We study the low energy effective action of the $\Omega$-deformed $\mathcal N =2^{*}$ $SU(2) $ gauge theory. It depends on the deformation parameters $\epsilon_{1},\epsilon_{2}$, the scalar field expectation value $a$, and the…
The Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit of beta-ensembles with polynomial potential and N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories in the Omega-background is intimately related to complex one-dimensional quantum mechanics. Multi-instanton corrections in…

These notes have two parts. The first is a study of Nekrasov's deformed partition functions $Z(\ve_1,\ve_2,\vec{a};\q,\vec{\tau})$ of N=2 SUSY Yang-Mills theories, which are generating functions of the integration in the equivariant…
We conjecture an expression for the Liouville theory conformal blocks and correlation functions on a Riemann surface of genus g and n punctures as the Nekrasov partition function of a certain class of N=2 SCFTs recently defined by one of…
We present a new method to find solutions of the Virasoro master equations for any affine Lie algebra $\widehat{g}$. The basic idea is to consider first the simplified case of an In\"on\"u-Wigner contraction $\widehat{g}_c$ of $\widehat{g}$…
We derive Virasoro constraints for the zero momentum part of the QCD-like partition functions in the sector of topological charge $\nu$. The constraints depend on the topological charge only through the combination $N_f +\beta\nu/2$ where…
Following our reformulation of sheaf-theoretic Virasoro constraints with applications to curves and surfaces joint with Lim-Moreira, I describe in the present work the quiver analog. After phrasing a universal approach to Virasoro…
It is recently claimed by Nekrasov and Shatashvili that the $\mathcal {N}=2$ gauge theories in the $\Omega$ background with $\epsilon_1=\hbar, \epsilon_2=0$ are related to the quantization of certain algebraic integrable systems. We study…
We propose a natural realization of inverse seesaw model with right-handed and flavor dependent $U(1)$ gauge symmetries, in which we formulate the neutrino mass matrix to reproduce current neutrino oscillation data in a general way. Also we…
We investigate the duality between the Nekrasov function and the quantized Seiberg-Witten prepotential, first guessed in [1] and further elaborated in [2] and [3]. We concentrate on providing more thorough checks than the ones presented in…
It is well-known that the charge of fermion is 0 or $\pm1$ in the U(1) gauge theory on noncommutative spacetime. Since the deviation from the standard model in particle physics has not yet observed, and so there may be no room to…
We derive the relation between the Hilbert space of certain geometries under the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization and the perturbative prepotentials for the supersymmetric five-dimensional SU(N) gauge theories with massive fundamental matters…
The instanton partition function of N=2, D=4 SU(2) gauge theory is obtained by taking the field theory limit of the topological open string partition function, given by a Chern-Simons theory, of a CY3-fold. The CY3-fold on the open string…
M-theoretic construction of N=2 gauge theories implies that the instanton partition function is expressed as the scalar product of coherent states (Whittaker states) in the Verma module of an appropriate two dimensional conformal field…
Nekrasov partition function for the supersymmetric gauge theories with general Lie groups is not so far known in a closed form while there is a definition in terms of the integral. In this paper, as an intermediate step to derive it, we…

We construct an action of N=2 affine $A_n$ quiver gauge model having non-canonical kinetic terms and equipped with electric and magnetic FI terms. N=2 supersymmetry is shown to be broken to N=1 spontaneously and N=1 multiplets realized on…
