One-instanton predictions for non-hyperelliptic curves derived from M-theory

One-instanton predictions are obtained from certain non-hyperelliptic Seiberg-Witten curves derived from M-theory for N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories. We consider SU(N_1) x SU(N_2) gauge theory with a hypermultiplet in the bifundamental representation together with hypermultiplets in the defining representations of SU(N_1) and SU(N_2). We also consider SU(N) gauge theory with a hypermultiplet in the symmetric or antisymmetric representation, together with hypermultiplets in the defining representation. The systematic perturbation expansion about a hyperelliptic curve together with the judicious use of an involution map for the curve of the product groups provide the principal tools of the calculations.

One Instanton Predictions of a Seiberg-Witten curve from M-theory: the Symmetric Representation of SU(N)

We consider N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories in four dimensions with gauge group SU(N) for N larger than two. Using the cubic curve for a matter hypermultiplet transforming in the symmetric representation, obtained from M-theory by Landsteiner and Lopez, we calculate the prepotential up to the one instanton correction. We treat the curve to be approximately hyperelliptic and perform a perturbation expansion for the Seiberg-Witten differential to get the one instanton contribution. We find that it reproduces the correct result for one-loop, and we obtain the prediction for that curve for the one instanton correction term.
