We solve a generalization of ordinary N=1 super Yang-Mills theory with gauge group U(N) and an adjoint chiral multiplet X for which we turn on both an arbitrary tree-level superpotential term \int d^{2}\theta Tr W(X) and an arbitrary…

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…

We consider generic properties of the moduli space of vacua in $N=2$ supersymmetric Yang--Mills theory recently studied by Seiberg and Witten. We find, on general grounds, Picard--Fuchs type of differential equations expressing the…

The partition function of a 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauge theory with rank $N$ can be computed using supersymmetric localization in terms of a matrix model, which often can be formulated as an ideal Fermi gas with a non-trivial one-particle…

The F-theory background of four D7 branes in a type I' orientifold was conjectured to be described by the Seiberg-Witten curve for the superconformal SU(2) gauge theory with four flavors. This relation was explained by considering in this…

We propose that the structure of gauge theories, the $(2,0)$ and little-string theories is encoded in a unique function on the real group manifold $E_{10}(R)$. The function is invariant under the maximal compact subgroup $K$ acting on the…

We find closed-form expressions for the Schur indices of 4d $\mathcal{N}=2^{*}$ super Yang-Mills theory with unitary gauge groups for arbitrary ranks via the Fermi-gas formulation. They can be written as a sum over the Young diagrams…

We consider $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theories in $(2n+1)$-dimensional Euclidean spacetime, where $N\geq n+1$, coupled to an even flavour number of Dirac fermions. After integration over the fermionic degrees of freedom the wave functional for the…

We describe a theory living on the null conformal boundary of four-dimensional Minkowski space, whose states include the radiative modes of Yang-Mills theory. The action of a Kac-Moody symmetry algebra on the correlators of these states…

We study the Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit of the N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory and topological string theory on certain local toric Calabi-Yau manifolds. In this limit one of the two deformation parameters \epsilon_{1,2} of the Omega…

In this paper we deal with algebro-geometrical problems connected with testing S-duality conjecture for super-symmetric Yang-Mills quantum field theories in four dimensions. We describe all field configurations such that beta function…

We introduce new variables in four dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills theory. These variables emerge when we sum the path integral over classical solutions and represent the summation as an integral over appropriate degrees of freedom. In this…

We study N=2 super-conformal field theories in four dimensions that correspond to mass-deformed linear quivers with n gauge groups and (bi-)fundamental matter. We describe them using Seiberg-Witten curves obtained from an M-theory…

We study the underlying extended supersymmetric structure in a system composed of fermions scattered off an infinitely extended static domain wall in the $xz$-plane. As we shall demonstrate, the fermionic scattered states are associated to…

Several physics aspects of the Seiberg-Witten solution of N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with SU(2) gauge group, supplemented with a small mass term for the "matter" fields which leads to an $N=1$ theory with confinement, are…

We analyse the Seiberg Witten curve describing the N=2 gauge theory dual to the supergravity solution with fractional branes. Emphasis is given to those aspects that are related to stringy mechanism known as the enhancon. We also compare…

It is recently claimed by Nekrasov and Shatashvili that the $\mathcal {N}=2$ gauge theories in the $\Omega$ background with $\epsilon_1=\hbar, \epsilon_2=0$ are related to the quantization of certain algebraic integrable systems. We study…

We present a new duality between the F-terms of supersymmetric field theories defined in two- and four-dimensions respectively. The duality relates N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions, deformed by an Omega-background in one…

We study globally supersymmetric 3d gauge theories on curved manifolds by describing the coupling of 3d topological gauge theories, with both Yang-Mills and Chern-Simons terms in the action, to background topological gravity. In our…

We show how to represent a class of expressions involving discrete sums over partitions as matrix models. We apply this technique to the partition functions of 2* theories, i.e. Seiberg-Witten theories with the massive hypermultiplet in the…
