In this talk I describe some applications of random matrix models to the study of N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with matter fields in the fundamental representation. I review the derivation of the…

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…

This brief review deals with prepotentials inspired by N=1 SUSY considerations due to Cachazo, Intrilligator, Vafa. These prepotentials associated with matrix models following Dijkgraaf and Vafa should be considered as given on an enlarged…

This paper studies the dual form of Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde (WDVV) equations in N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory by applying a duality transformation to WDVV equations. The dual WDVV equations called in this paper are…

The paper contains some new results and a review of recent achievements, concerning the multisupport solutions to matrix models. In the leading order of the 't Hooft expansion for matrix integral, these solutions are described by…

Dijkgraaf and Vafa (DV) have conjectured that the exact superpotential for a large class of N=1 SUSY gauge theories can be extracted from the planar limit of a certain holomorphic matrix integral. We test their proposal against existing…

We construct a large-N twisted reduced model of the four-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory coupled to one adjoint matter. We first consider a non-commutative version of the four-dimensional superspace, and then give the mapping rule…

Dijkgraaf and Vafa have conjectured the correspondences between topological string theories, ${\cal N}=1$ gauge theories and matrix models. By the use of this conjecture, we calculate the quantum deformations of Calabi-Yau threefolds with…

With the aim of extending the gauge theory -- matrix model connection to more general matter representations, we prove that for various two-index tensors of the classical gauge groups, the perturbative contributions to the glueball…

Dijkgraaf and Vafa have conjectured that the effective superpotentials for N=1 four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories can be given by the planar diagrams of matrix models. We examine some special models with cubic and quartic tree…

We review the relation of N=4 superconformal multi-particle models on the real line to the WDVV equation and an associated linear equation for two prepotentials, F and U. The superspace treatment gives another variant of the integrability…

We derive the Veneziano-Yankielowicz superpotential directly from the matrix model by fixing the measure precisely. The essential requirement here is that the effective superpotential of the matrix model corresponding to the ${\cal N}=4$…

We show that Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde equation underlies the construction of N=4 superconformal multi--particle mechanics in one dimension, including a N=4 superconformal Calogero model.

Prepotentials in N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories are known to obey non-linear partial differential equations called Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde (WDVV) equations. In this paper, the prepotentials at one-instanton level in N=2…

We consider the prepotential of Dijkgraaf and Vafa (DV) as one more (and in fact, singular) example of the Seiberg-Witten (SW) prepotentials and discuss its properties from this perspective. Most attention is devoted to the issue of…

One of the powerful techniques to analyze the 5 dimensional Super Yang Mills theory with a massive hypermultiplet (N=1*) is provided by the AdS/CFT correspondence. It predicts that, for certain special values of the hypermultiplet mass,…

A proof that the prepotential for pure N=2 Super-Yang-Mills theory associated with Lie algebras B_r and C_r satisfies the generalized WDVV (Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde) system was given by Marshakov, Mironov and Morozov. Among other…

In this note we show how Dijkgraaf and Vafa's hypothesis relating the exact superpotential of an N=1 theory to a matrix model can be used to describe all the massive vacua of the N=1*, or mass deformed N=4, theory including the Higgs…

The superpotential in the Landau-Ginzburg construction of solutions to the Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde (or WDVV) equations is modified to include logarithmic terms. This results in deformations - quadratic in the deformation…

We consider the N=1 super Yang-Mills theory with gauge group U(Nc) or SU(Nc) and one adjoint Higgs field with an arbitrary polynomial superpotential. We provide a purely field theoretic derivation of the exact effective superpotential W(S)…
