We develop a method to analyze the strong coupling limit of the Bethe ansatz equations supposed to give the spectrum of anomalous dimensions of the planar ${\cal N}=4$ gauge theory. This method is particularly adapted for the three rank-one…

We study irregular states of rank-two and three in Liouville theory, based on an ansatz proposed by D. Gaiotto and J. Teschner. Using these irregular states, we evaluate asymptotic expansions of irregular conformal blocks corresponding to…
We generalize the notion of an asymptotic weak coupling expansion about an exactly solvable model in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory to an all positive value coupling convergent expansion. This is done by rescaling the variables…
We study the Seiberg-Witten-Whitham equations in the strong coupling regime of the N=2 super Yang-Mills theory in the vicinity of the maximal singularities. In the case of SU(2) the Seiberg-Witten-Whitham equations fix completely the strong…
We set up a systematic expansion of the prepotential for ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with SU(N) gauge group in the region of strong coupling where a maximal number of mutually local fields become massless. In particular,…
We study $SU(2)$ gauge theories coupled to $(A_1,D_N)$ theories with or without a fundamental hypermultiplet. For even $N$, a formula for the contribution of $(A_1,D_N)$ to the Nekrasov partition function was recently obtained by us with…
The anomalous dimensions of single-trace local Wilson operators with covariant derivatives in maximally supersymmetric gauge theory are believed to be generated from a deformed noncompact sl(2) Baxter equation. We perform a systematic…
We show that the dual partition function of the pure $\mathcal N=2$ $SU(2)$ gauge theory in the self-dual $\Omega$-background (a) is given by Fredholm determinant of a generalized Bessel kernel and (b) coincides with the tau function…
We further explore the correspondence between N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory with four flavors on epsilon-deformed backgrounds and conformal field theory, with an emphasis on the epsilon-expansion of the partition function natural…
We consider the $\mathcal{N}=2$ quiver gauge theory arising from a $\mathbb{Z}_M$ orbifold of $\mathcal{N}=4$ Super Yang-Mills theory. Over the years, exploiting supersymmetric localization, exact expressions for several observables have…
Gamayun, Iorgov and Lisovyy in 2012 proposed that tau function of the Painlev\'e equation is equal to the series of $c=1$ Virasoro conformal blocks. We study similar series of $c=-2$ conformal blocks and relate it to Painlev\'e theory. The…
We study the non-perturbative properties of N=2 super conformal field theories in four dimensions using localization techniques. In particular we consider SU(2) gauge theories, deformed by a generic epsilon-background, with four fundamental…
Localization methods have recently led to a plethora of new exact results in supersymmetric gauge theories, as certain observables may be computed in terms of matrix integrals. These can then be evaluated by making use of standard large N…
Based on some recent progress on a relation between four dimensional super Yang-Mills gauge theory and quantum integrable system, we study the asymptotic spectrum of the quantum mechanical problems described by the Mathieu equation and the…
We compute exactly the partition function of two dimensional N=(2,2) gauge theories on S^2 and show that it admits two dual descriptions: either as an integral over the Coulomb branch or as a sum over vortex and anti-vortex excitations on…
The analytic properties of the ground state resonance energy E(g) of the cubic potential are investigated as a function of the complex coupling parameter g. We explicitly show that it is possible to analytically continue E(g) by means of a…
The partition function of a family of four dimensional N=2 gauge theories has been recently related to correlation functions of two dimensional conformal Toda field theories. For SU(2) gauge theories, the associated two dimensional theory…
