Abstract

We study macroscopically two dimensional N=(2,2)\mathcal{N}=(2,2) supersymmetric gauge theories constructed by compactifying the quiver gauge theories with eight supercharges on a product Td×Rϵ2\mathbb{T}^{d} \times \mathbb{R}^{2}_{\epsilon} of a dd-dimensional torus and a two dimensional cigar with Ω\Omega-deformation. We compute the universal part of the effective twisted superpotential. In doing so we establish the correspondence between the gauge theories, quantization of the moduli spaces of instantons on R2d×T2+d\mathbb{R}^{2-d} \times \mathbb{T}^{2+d} and singular monopoles on R2d×T1+d\mathbb{R}^{2-d} \times \mathbb{T}^{1+d}, for d=0,1,2d=0,1,2, and the Yangian Yϵ(gΓ)\mathbf{Y}_{\epsilon}(\mathfrak{g}_{\Gamma}), quantum affine algebra Uqaff(gΓ)\mathbf{U}^{\mathrm{aff}}_q(\mathfrak{g}_{\Gamma}), or the quantum elliptic algebra Uq,pell(gΓ)\mathbf{U}^{\mathrm{ell}}_{q,p}(\mathfrak{g}_{\Gamma}) associated to Kac-Moody algebra gΓ\mathfrak{g}_{\Gamma} for quiver Γ\Gamma.
