Abstract

The non-perturbative low energy effective action of N=2 SYM is studied within a microscopic string realization via D3/D-instanton systems. The localization deformation of instanton moduli space which has allowed the exact computation of multi-instanton contributions is, in this setting, due to a RR graviphoton background. The relation of deformed instanton contributions to topological string amplitudes on CY, argued by Nekrasov, appears quite natural in this framework. Based on arXiv:hep-th/0606013.
