Using geometric engineering in the context of type II strings, we obtain exact solutions for the
moduli space of the Coulomb branch of all N= 2 gauge theories in four dimensions involving …

We present a series of four self-contained lectures on the following topics;(I) An introduction
to 4-dimensional 1≤ N≤ 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, including particle and field …

Geometry behind N = 2 Supersymmetric Effective Actions in Four Dimensions.∗ A. Klemm …

Abstract The Picard–Fuchs equation is a powerful mathematical tool which has numerous
applications in physics, for it allows one to evaluate integrals without resorting to direct …

In this paper we first investigate the ansatz of one of the present authors for K (Ψ, Ψ), the
adimensional, modular-invariant, nonholomorphic correction to the Wilsonian effective …

We study the Picard-Fuchs differential equations for the Seiberg-Witten period integrals in
N= 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. For ADE gauge groups we derive the Picard-Fuchs …

We show that a suitable rescaling of the matrix model coupling constant makes manifest the
duality group of the N= 2 SYM theory with gauge group SU (2). This is done by first …

One-instanton predictions are obtained from the Seiberg-Witten curve derived from M-theory
by Landsteiner and Lopez for the Coulomb branch of N= 2 supersymmetric SU (N) gauge …

This is an expanded version of lectures given in Hangzhou and Bei**g, on the symplectic
forms common to Seiberg-Witten theory and the theory of solitons. Methods for evaluating …

A wide class of Seiberg-Witten models constructed by M-theory techniques and described
by non-hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces are shown to possess an associative algebra of …
