The Ruijsenaars-Schneider Model in the Context of Seiberg-Witten Theory

The compactification of five dimensional N=2 SUSY Yang-Mills (YM) theory onto a circle provides a four dimensional YM model with N=4 SUSY. This supersymmetry can be broken down to N=2 if non-trivial boundary conditions in the compact dimension, ϕ(x_5 +R) = e^{2πiε}ϕ(x_5), are imposed on half of the fields. This two-parameter (R,ε) family of compactifications includes as particular limits most of the previously studied four dimensional N=2 SUSY YM models with supermultiplets in the adjoint representation of the gauge group. The finite-dimensional integrable system associated to these theories via the Seiberg-Witten construction is the generic elliptic Ruijsenaars-Schneider model. In particular the perturbative (weak coupling) limit is described by the trigonometric Ruijsenaars-Schneider model.

Seiberg-Witten theory for a non-trivial compactification from five to four dimensions

The prepotential and spectral curve are described for a smooth interpolation between an enlarged N=4 SUSY and ordinary N=2 SUSY Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions, obtained by compactification from five dimensions with non-trivial (periodic and antiperiodic) boundary conditions. This system provides a new solution to the generalized WDVV equations. We show that this exhausts all possible solutions of a given functional form.

RG Equations from Whitham Hierarchy

The second derivatives of prepotential with respect to Whitham time-variables in the Seiberg-Witten theory are expressed in terms of Riemann theta-functions. These formulas give a direct transcendental generalization of algebraic ones for the Kontsevich matrix model. In particular case they provide an explicit derivation of the renormalization group (RG) equation proposed recently in papers on the Donaldson theory.

Covariance of WDVV equations

The (generalized) WDVV equations for the prepotentials in $2d$ topological and $4,5d$ Seiberg-Witten models are covariant with respect to non-linear transformations, described in terms of solutions of associated linear problem. Both time-variables and the prepotential change non-trivially, but period matrix (prepotential's second derivatives) remains intact.

On Integrable Structure behind the Generalized WDVV Equations

In the theory of quantum cohomologies the WDVV equations imply integrability of the system $(I\partial_μ- zC_μ)ψ= 0$. However, in generic situation -- of which an example is provided by the Seiberg-Witten theory -- there is no distinguished direction (like $t^0$) in the moduli space, and such equations for $ψ$ appear inconsistent. Instead they are substituted by $(C_μ\partial_ν- C_ν\partial_μ)ψ^{(μ)} \sim (F_μ\partial_ν- F_ν\partial_μ)ψ^{(μ)} = 0$, where matrices $(F_μ)_{αβ} = \partial_α\partial_β\partial_μF$.

Insights and Puzzles from Branes: 4d SUSY Yang-Mills from 6d Models

5-branes of nontrivial topology are associated in the Diaconescu-Hanany-Witten-Witten (DHWW) approach with the Seiberg-Witten (SW) theory of low-energy effective actions. There are two different "pictures", related to the IIA and IIB phases of M-theory. They differ by the choice of $6d$ theory on the 5-brane world volume. In the IIB picture it is just the 6d SUSY Yang-Mills, while in the IIA picture it is a theory of SUSY self-dual 2-form. These two pictures appear capable to describe the (non-abelian) Lax operator and (abelian) low-energy effective action respectively. Thus IIB-IIA duality is related to the duality between Hitchin and Whitham integrable structures.

More Evidence for the WDVV Equations in N=2 SUSY Yang-Mills Theories

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 the first fundamental representation) makes use of the hyperelliptic curves and underlying integrable systems. A wide class of examples is discussed, it contains few understandable exceptions. In particular, in perturbative regime of 5d theories in addition to naive field theory expectations some extra terms appear, like it happens in heterotic string models. We consider also the example of the Yang-Mills theory with matter hypermultiplet in the adjoint representation (related to the elliptic Calogero-Moser system) when the standard WDVV equations do not hold.

WDVV Equations from Algebra of Forms

A class of solutions to the WDVV equations is provided by period matrices of hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces, with or without punctures. The equations themselves reflect associativity of explicitly described multiplicative algebra of (possibly meromorphic) 1-differentials, which holds at least in the hyperelliptic case. This construction is direct generalization of the old one, involving the ring of polynomials factorized over an ideal, and is inspired by the study of the Seiberg-Witten theory. It has potential to be further extended to reveal algebraic structures underlying the theory of quantum cohomologies and the prepotentials in string models with N=2 supersymmetry.

A Matrix Integral Solution to [P,Q]=P and Matrix Laplace Transforms

In this paper we solve the following problems: (i) find two differential operators P and Q satisfying [P,Q]=P, where P flows according to the KP hierarchy \partial P/\partial t_n = [(P^{n/p})_+,P], with p := \ord P\ge 2; (ii) find a matrix integral representation for the associated $\t au$-function. First we construct an infinite dimensional space {\cal W}=\Span_\BC \{ψ_0(z),ψ_1(z),... \} of functions of z\in\BC invariant under the action of two operators, multiplication by z^p and A_c:= z \partial/\partial z - z + c. This requirement is satisfied, for arbitrary p, if ψ_0 is a certain function generalizing the classical Hänkel function (for p=2); our representation of the generalized Hänkel function as a double Laplace transform of a simple function, which was unknown even for the p=2 case, enables us to represent the τ-function associated with the KP time evolution of the space \cal W as a ``double matrix Laplace transform'' in two different ways. One representation involves an integration over the space of matrices whose spectrum belongs to a wedge-shaped contour γ:= γ^+ + γ^- \subset\BC defined by γ^\pm=\BR_+\E^{\pmπ\I/p}. The new integrals above relate to the matrix Laplace transforms, in contrast with the matrix Fourier transforms, which generalize the Kontsevich integrals and solve the operator equation [P,Q]=1.

WDVV-like equations in N=2 SUSY Yang-Mills Theory

The prepotential $F(a_i)$, defining the low-energy effective action of the $SU(N)$ ${\cal N}=2$ SUSY Yang-Mills theories, satisfies an enlarged set of the WDVV-like equations $F_iF_k^{-1}F_j = F_jF_k^{-1}F_i$ for any triple $i,j,k = 1,\ldots,N-1$, where matrix $F_i$ is equal to $(F_i)_{mn} = \partial^3 F/\partial a_i\partial a_m\partial a_n$. The same equations are actually true for generic topological theories. In contrast to the conventional formulation, when $k$ is restricted to $k=0$, in the proposed system there is no distinguished ``first'' time-variable, and indices can be raised with the help of any ``metric'' $η_{mn}^{(k)} = (F_k)_{mn}$, not obligatory flat. All the equations (for all $i,j,k$) are true simultaneously. This result provides a new parallel between the Seiberg-Witten theory of low-energy gauge models in $4d$ and topological theories.

N=2 Supersymmetric QCD and Integrable Spin Chains: Rational Case N_f < 2N_c

The form of the spectral curve for $4d$ $N=2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with matter fields in the fundamental representation of the gauge group suggests that its $1d$ integrable counterpart should be looked for among (inhomogeneous) $sl(2)$ spin chains with the length of the chain being equal to the number of colours $N_c$. For $N_f < 2N_c$ the relevant spin chain is the simplest $XXX$-model, and this identification is in agreement with the known results in Seiberg-Witten theory.

New matrix model solutions to the Kac-Schwarz problem

We examine the Kac-Schwarz problem of specification of point in Grassmannian in the restricted case of gap-one first-order differential Kac-Schwarz operators. While the pair of constraints satisfying $[{\cal K}_1,W] = 1$ always leads to Kontsevich type models, in the case of $[{\cal K}_1,W] = W$ the corresponding KP $τ$-functions are represented as more sophisticated matrix integrals.

Liouville Type Models in Group Theory Framework. I. Finite-Dimensional Algebras

In the series of papers we represent the ``Whittaker'' wave functional of $d+1$-dimensional Liouville model as a correlator in $d+0$-dimensional theory of the sine-Gordon type (for $d=0$ and $1$). Asypmtotics of this wave function is characterized by the Harish-Chandra function, which is shown to be a product of simple $Γ$-function factors over all positive roots of the corresponding algebras (finite-dimensional for $d=0$ and affine for $d=1$). This is in nice correspondence with the recent results on 2- and 3-point correlators in $1+1$ Liouville model, where emergence of peculiar double-periodicity is observed. The Whittaker wave functions of $d+1$-dimensional non-affine ("conformal") Toda type models are given by simple averages in the $d+0$ dimensional theories of the affine Toda type. This phenomenon is in obvious parallel with representation of the free-field wave functional, which is originally a Gaussian integral over interior of a $d+1$-dimensional disk with given boundary conditions, as a (non-local) quadratic integral over the $d$-dimensional boundary itself. In the present paper we mostly concentrate on the finite-dimensional case. The results for finite-dimensional "Iwasawa" Whittaker functions were known, and we present their survey. We also construct new "Gauss" Whittaker functions.

Prepotential and the Seiberg-Witten Theory

Some basic facts about the prepotential in the SW/Whitham theory are presented. Consideration begins from the abstract theory of quasiclassical $τ$-functions , which uses as input a family of complex spectral curves with a meromorphic differential $dS$, subject to the constraint $\partial dS/\partial(moduli)= \ holomorphic$, and gives as an output a homogeneous prepotential on extended moduli space. Then reversed construction is discussed, which is straightforwardly generalizable from spectral {\it curves} to certain complex manifolds of dimension $d >1$ (like $K3$ and $CY$ families). Finally, examples of particular $N=2$ SUSY gauge models are considered from the point of view of this formalism. At the end we discuss similarity between the $WP^{12}_{1,1,2,2,6}$ -\-Calabi-\-Yau model with $h_{21}=2$ and the $1d$ $SL(2)$ Calogero/Ruijsenaars model, but stop short of the claim that they belong to the same Whitham universality class beyond the conifold limit.
