Seiberg-Witten Theory and Extended Toda Hierarchy
نویسنده
چکیده
The quasiclassical solution to the extended Toda chain hierarchy, corresponding to the deformation of the simplest Seiberg-Witten theory by all descendants of the dual topological string model, is constructed explicitly in terms of the complex curve and generating differential. The first derivatives of prepotential or quasiclassical tau-function over the extra times, extending the Toda chain, are expressed through the multiple integrals of the Seiberg-Witten one-form. We derive the corresponding quasiclassical Virasoro constraints, discuss the functional formulation of the problem and propose generalization of the extended Toda hierarchy to the nonabelian theory.

Seiberg-witten Prepotential from Instanton Counting
Direct evaluation of the Seiberg-Witten prepotential is accomplished following the localization programme suggested in [1]. Our results agree with all low-instanton calculations available in the literature. We present a two-parameter generalization of the Seiberg-Witten prepotential, which is rather natural from the M-theory/five dimensional perspective, and conjecture its relation to the tau-f...
متن کاملWhitham Deformations of Seiberg-Witten Curves for Classical Gauge Groups
Gorsky et al. presented an explicit construction of Whitham deformations of the Seiberg-Witten curve for the SU(N+1) N = 2 SUSY Yang-Mills theory. We extend their result to all classical gauge groups and some other cases such as the spectral curve of the A (2) 2N affine Toda Toda system. Our construction, too, uses fractional powers of the superpotential W (x) that characterizes the curve. We a...
متن کاملSeiberg - Witten Toda Chains and N = 1 SQCD 1
We consider the Seiberg-Witten Toda chains arising in the context of exact solutions to N = 2 SUSY Yang-Mills and their relation to the properties of N = 1 SUSY gauge theories. In particular, we discuss their " perturbative " and " solitonic " degenerations and demonstrate some relations of the latter ones to the confining properties of N = 1 vacua.
متن کاملSeiberg-Witten theory, monopole spectral curves and affine Toda solitons
Using Seiberg-Witten theory it is known that the dynamics of N = 2 supersymmetric SU(n) Yang-Mills theory is determined by a Riemann surface Σn. In particular the mass formula for BPS states is given by the periods of a special differential on Σn. In this note we point out that the surface Σn can be obtained from the quotient of a symmetric n-monopole spectral curve by its symmetry group. Known...
متن کاملVirasoro Symmetries of the Extended Toda Hierarchy
We prove that the extended Toda hierarchy of [1] admits nonabelian Lie algebra of infinitesimal symmetries isomorphic to the half of the Virasoro algebra. The generators Lm, m ≥ −1 of the Lie algebra act by linear differential operators onto the tau function of the hierarchy. We also prove that the tau function of a generic solution to the extended Toda hierarchy is annihilated by a combination...
