Integrable Structures in Supersymmetric Gauge and String Theory

چکیده
The effective action of N=2 Yang-Mills theory with adjoint matter is shown to be governed by an integrable spin model with spectral parameter on an elliptic curve. We sketch a route to deriving this effective dynamics from the underlying Yang-Mills theory. Natural generalizations of this structure to all N=2 models, and to string theory, are suggested.

Integrable Many - Body Systems and Gauge Theories
The review studies connections between integrable many-body systems and gauge theories. It is shown how the degrees of freedom in integrable systems are related with topological degrees of freedom in gauge theories. The relations between families of integrable systems and N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories are described. It is explained that the degrees of freedom in the many-body systems can ...
متن کاملNoncommutative Solitons
Solitonic objects play a central role in gauge and string theory (as, e.g., monopoles, black holes, D-branes, etc.). Certain string backgrounds produce a noncommutative deformation of the low-energy effective field theory, which allows for new types of solitonic solutions. I present the construction, moduli spaces and dynamics of Moyal-deformed solitons, exemplified in the 2+1 dimensional Yang-...
متن کاملA ug 2 00 7 Aspects of Integrability in N = 4 SYM
Various recently developed connections between supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories in four dimensions and two dimensional integrable systems serve as crucial ingredients in improving our understanding of the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this review, we highlight some connections between superconformal four dimensional Yang-Mills theory and various integrable systems. In particular, we focus on the...
متن کاملFrom Nonperturbative SUSY Gauge Theories to Integrable Systems
I review the appearence of integrable structures in the formulation of exact nonperturbative solutions to 4d supersymmetric quantum gauge theories. Various examples of N ≥ 2 SUSY Yang-Mills nonperturbative solutions are adequately described in terms of the (deformations of the) finite-gap solutions to integrable models: through the generating differential and the τ -function. One of the basic d...
متن کاملOn the Moduli Space of N =2 Supersymmetric G2 Gauge Theory
We apply the method of confining phase superpotentials to N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with the exceptional gauge group G2. Our findings are consistent with the spectral curve of the periodic Toda lattice, but do not agree with the hyperelliptic curve suggested previously in the literature. We also apply the method to theories with fundamental matter, treating both the example of SO(5...
