The calculus of many instantons

N Dorey, TJ Hollowood, VV Khoze, MP Mattis - Physics reports, 2002 - Elsevier
We describe the modern formalism, ideas and applications of the instanton calculus for
gauge theories with, and without, supersymmetry. Particular emphasis is put on develo** …

Solutions of four-dimensional field theories via M-theory

E Witten - Nuclear Physics B, 1997 - Elsevier
N= 2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions are studied by formulating them as
the quantum field theories derived from configurations of fourbranes, fivebranes, and …

Supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and integrable systems

R Donagi, E Witten - Nuclear Physics B, 1996 - Elsevier
The Coulomb branch of N= 2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions is
described in general by an integrable Hamiltonian system in the holomorphic sense. A …

Lectures on supersymmetric gauge theories and electric-magnetic duality

K Intriligator, N Seiberg - Low-Dimensional Applications of Quantum Field …, 1997 - Springer
Recently, it has become clear that certain aspects of four dimensional supersymmetric field
theories can be analyzed exactly, providing a laboratory for the analysis of the dynamics of …

Mirror symmetry and exact solution of 4d N= 2 gauge theories I

S Katz, P Mayr, C Vafa - arxiv preprint hep-th/9706110, 1997 - arxiv.org
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 …

Dynamical SUSY breaking in meta-stable vacua

K Intriligator, N Seiberg, D Shih - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
Dynamical supersymmetry breaking in a long-lived meta-stable vacuum is a
phenomenologically viable possibility. This relatively unexplored avenue leads to many new …

NonAbelian superconductors: Vortices and confinement in N= 2 SQCD

R Auzzi, S Bolognesi, J Evslin, K Konishi, A Yung - Nuclear Physics B, 2003 - Elsevier
We study nonabelian vortices (flux tubes) in SU (N) gauge theories, which are responsible
for the confinement of (nonabelian) magnetic monopoles. In particular a detailed analysis is …

The moduli space of vacua of N= 2 SUSY QCD and duality in N= 1 SUSY QCD

PC Argyres, MR Plesser, N Seiberg - Nuclear Physics B, 1996 - Elsevier
We analyze in detail the moduli space of vacua of N= 2 SUSY QCD with nc colors and nf
flavors. The Coulomb branch has submanifolds with non-Abelian gauge symmetry. The …

Integrable systems and supersymmetric gauge theory

EJ Martinec, NP Warner - Nuclear Physics B, 1996 - Elsevier
After the work of Seiberg and Witten, it has been seen that the dynamics of N= 2 Yang-Mills
theory is governed by a Riemann surface ϵ In particular, the integral of a special differential …
