We conjecture that $W$ gravity can be interpreted as the gauge theory of $\phi$ diffeomorphisms in the space of dimensionally-reduced $D=2+2$ $SU^*(\infty)$ Yang-Mills instantons. These $\phi$ diffeomorphisms preserve a volume-three form…
We consider 4d and 5d N=2 supersymmetric theories and demonstrate that in general their Seiberg-Witten prepotentials satisfy the Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde (WDVV) equations. General proof for the Yang-Mills models (with matter in…
The Skyrme-Faddeev-Niemi (SFN) model which is an O(3) $\sigma$ model in three dimensional space upto fourth-order in the first derivative is regarded as a low-energy effective theory of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. One can show from the…
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…
In recent years it has been shown that many, and possibly all, integrable systems can be obtained by dimensional reduction of self-dual Yang-Mills. I show how the integrable systems obtained this way naturally inherit bihamiltonian…
The SU(3) Yang-Mills Quantum Mechanics of spatially constant gluon fields is considered in the unconstrained Hamiltonian approach using the "flux-tube gauge". The Faddeev-Popov operator, its determinant and inverse, are rather simple, but…

A manifestly gauge invariant exact renormalization group for pure SU(N) Yang-Mills theory is proposed, along with the necessary gauge invariant regularisation which implements the effective cutoff. The latter is naturally incorporated by…

Seiberg-Witten geometry of mass deformed $\mathcal N=2$ superconformal ADE quiver gauge theories in four dimensions is determined. We solve the limit shape equations derived from the gauge theory and identify the space $\mathfrak M$ of…
This paper investigates an integrable system which is related to hyperbolic monopoles; ie the Bogomolny Yang-Mills-Higgs equations in (2+1) anti-de Sitter space which are integrable and whose solutions can be obtained using analytical…
We study supersymmetric quantum mechanics on the moduli space of Yang-Mills instantons on R^2 x T^2 and its application to the discrete light-cone quantisation (DLCQ) of N=4 SUSY Yang-Mills. In the presence of a target space magnetic field,…
In this review we discuss interrelations between classical Hitchin integrable systems, monodromy preserving equations and topological field theories coming from N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories developed by Gukov, Kapustin and Witten.…
We present new exact solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills system. The solutions are described by a null Yang-Mills field in a Kundt spacetime. They generalize a previously known solution for a metric of $pp$ wave type. The solutions are…
We consider Euclidean SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on the space GxR, where G is a compact semisimple Lie group, and introduce first-order BPS-type equations which imply the full Yang-Mills equations. For gauge fields invariant under the adjoint…
We derive an exact expression for the Seiberg-Witten map of noncommutative gauge theory. It is found by studying the coupling of the gauge field to the Ramond-Ramond potentials in string theory. Our result also proves the earlier conjecture…
