We describe an expedient way to derive the CIV-DV prepotential in power series expansion in S_i. This is based on integrations of equations for its derivatives with respect to additional (Whitham) moduli T_m. For illustrative purposes, we…
We demonstrate by explicit calculation that the first two terms in the CIV-DV prepotential for the two-cut case satisfy the generalized WDVV equations, just as in all other known examples of hyperelliptic Seiberg-Witten models. The WDVV…
Dijkgraaf and Vafa (DV) have conjectured that the exact superpotential for a large class of N=1 SUSY gauge theories can be extracted from the planar limit of a certain holomorphic matrix integral. We test their proposal against existing…
We consider CIV-DV prepotential F for N=1 SU(n) SYM theory at the extremum of the effective superpotential and prove the relation $2F-S dF/dS = - 2 u_2 Lambda^2n /(n^2-1)$

We consider the prepotential of Dijkgraaf and Vafa (DV) as one more (and in fact, singular) example of the Seiberg-Witten (SW) prepotentials and discuss its properties from this perspective. Most attention is devoted to the issue of…
This brief review deals with prepotentials inspired by N=1 SUSY considerations due to Cachazo, Intrilligator, Vafa. These prepotentials associated with matrix models following Dijkgraaf and Vafa should be considered as given on an enlarged…
According to Dijkgraaf and Vafa the effective glueball superpotential of the N=1 supersymmetric QCD coupled with an adjoint chiral multiplet is given by the planar amplitude in the 1/N expansion of a matrix model. It was shown that, when…
Some basic facts about the prepotential in the SW/Whitham theory are presented. Consideration begins from the abstract theory of quasiclassical $\tau$-functions , which uses as input a family of complex spectral curves with a meromorphic…
The Veneziano-Yankielowicz glueball superpotential for an arbitrary N=1 SUSY pure gauge theory with classical gauge group is derived using an approach following recent work of Dijkgraaf, Vafa and others. These non-perturbative terms, which…
In this dissertation we discuss various issues concerning application of the Dijkgraaf-Vafa (DV) conjecture to the study of supersymmetric gauge theories. The DV approach is very powerful in that it provides a systematic way of computing…
We find an expression for the effective superpotential describing the $N_c$ vacua of $SU(N_c)$ SUSY gluodynamics. The superpotential reduces in some approximation to the Veneziano-Yankielowicz expression amended by the term restoring the…
A generalized definition of superpotential has proposed, which connects two one-dimensional potentials $V_{1}$ and $V_{2}$ with discrete energy spectra completely and where: 1) energy of factorization equals to arbitrary level of spectrum…
A method for computing the low-energy non-perturbative properties of SUSY GFT, starting from the microscopic lagrangian model, is presented. The method relies on covariant SUSY Feynman graph techniques, adapted to low energy, and…
Prepotentials in N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories are known to obey non-linear partial differential equations called Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde (WDVV) equations. In this paper, the prepotentials at one-instanton level in N=2…

Linearized supergravity in arbitrary dimension is reformulated into a first order formalism which treats the graviton and its dual on the same footing at the level of the action. This generalizes previous work by other authors in two…
