N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories for all classical gauge groups, that is, for SU(N), SO(N), and Sp(N) is considered. The equations which define the Seiberg-Witten curve are proposed. In some cases they are solved. It is shown that for…

We use matrix model technology to study the N=2 U(N) gauge theory with N_f massive hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. We perform a completely perturbative calculation of the periods a_i and the prepotential F(a) up to the…

Linear recursion relations for the instanton corrections to the effective prepotential are derived for N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories with one hypermultiplet in the adjoint representation of SU(N) using the Calogero-Moser…

The Seiberg-Witten curve and differential for ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theory, with a massive hypermultiplet in the adjoint representation of the gauge group, are analyzed in terms of the elliptic Calogero-Moser integrable…

We discuss N=2 supersymmetric Type IIA brane configurations within M theory. This is a generalization of the work of Witten to all classical groups.

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…

The Seiberg-Witten curves and differentials for $\N=2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with one hypermultiplet of mass $m$ in the adjoint representation of the gauge algebra $\G$, are constructed for arbitrary classical or exceptional…

The Seiberg-Witten solution of N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory may be viewed as a prediction for the infinite family of constants F_n measuring the n-instanton contribution to the prepotential F. Here we examine the instanton physics…

We study the prepotential of N=2 gauge theories using the instanton counting techniques introduced by Nekrasov. For the SO theories without matter we find a closed expression for the full prepotential and its string theory gravitational…

We solve N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories for arbitrary classical gauge group, i.e. SU(N), SO(N), Sp(N). In particular, we derive the prepotential of the low-energy effective theory, and the corresponding Seiberg-Witten curves. We…

We review recent work on the study of N=2 super Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(N) from the point of view of the Whitham hierarchy, mainly focusing on three main results: (i) We develop a new recursive method to compute the whole…

We compute instanton corrections to the low energy effective prepotential of N=2 supersymmetric theories in a variety of cases, including all classical gauge groups and even number of fundamental matter hypermultiplets. To this end, we take…

We continue the study of a relationship between the instanton expansion of the Seiberg-Witten (SW) prepotential of $D = 4$, ${\cal N }= 2$ $SU(2)$ SUSY gauge theory and the monstrous moonshine. Extending the previous results, we show for…

In my lecture I consider integrals over moduli spaces of supersymmetric gauge field configurations (instantons, Higgs bundles, torsion free sheaves). The applications are twofold: physical and mathematical; they involve supersymmetric…

We give an explicit derivation of the Picard-Fuchs equations for N=2 supersymmetric SU(3) Yang-Mills theory with $N_f<6$ massive hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. We determine the instanton corrections to the prepotential…

Instanton correction of prepotential of one-dimensional SL(2) Ruijsenaars model is presented with the help of Picard-Fuchs equation of Pakuliak-Perelomov type. It is shown that the instanton induced prepotential reduces to that of the SU(2)…

We study the relation between the instanton expansion of the Seiberg-Witten prepotential for $D=4$, ${\cal N}=2$ $SU(2)$ SUSY gauge theory for $N_f=0$ and $1$ and the monstrous moonshine. By utilizing a newly developed simple method to…

Direct evaluation of the Seiberg-Witten prepotential is accomplished following the localization programme suggested some time ago. Our results agree with all low-instanton calculations available in the literature. We present a two-parameter…

We explicitly determine the instanton corrections to the prepotential for N=2 supersymmetric SU(3) Yang-Mills theory with massless hypermultiplets in the weak coupling regions $u\to\infty$ and $v\to\infty$. We construct the Picard-Fuchs…

We propose a few tests of Seiberg-Witten solutions of $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories by the instanton calculus in twisted gauge theories. We re-examine the low-energy effective abelian theory in the presence of sources and…
