Seiberg–Witten Curve for the E-String Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
We construct the Seiberg–Witten curve for the E-string theory in six-dimensions. The curve is expressed in terms of affine E8 characters up to level 6 and is determined by using the mirror-type transformation so that it reproduces the number of holomorphic curves in the Calabi–Yau manifold and the amplitudes of N = 4 U(n) Yang–Mills theory on 12K3. We also show that our curve flows to known fiveand four-dimensional Seiberg–Witten curves in suitable limits.

Seiberg–Witten Curve for E-String Theory Revisited
We discuss various properties of the Seiberg–Witten curve for the E-string theory which we have obtained recently in hep-th/0203025. Seiberg–Witten curve for the Estring describes the low-energy dynamics of a six-dimensional (1, 0) SUSY theory when compactified on R × T 2. It has a manifest affine E8 global symmetry with modulus τ and E8 Wilson line parameters {mi}, i = 1, 2, . . . , 8 which ar...
متن کاملExceptional String: Instanton Expansions and Seiberg–Witten Curve
We investigate instanton expansions of partition functions of several toric Estring models using local mirror symmetry and elliptic modular forms. We also develop a method to determine the Seiberg–Witten curve of E-string with the help of elliptic functions. ∗ E-mail address: [email protected]
متن کاملElliptic Fibrations and Elliptic Models
We study the Seiberg-Witten curves for N = 2 SUSY gauge theories arising from type IIA string configurations with two orientifold sixplanes. Such theories lift to elliptic models in M-theory. We express the M-theory background for these models as a nontrivial elliptic fibration over C. We discuss singularities of this surface, and write the Seiberg-Witten curve for several theories as a subvari...
متن کاملSeiberg-Witten Theory and Extended Toda Hierarchy
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, a...
متن کاملExceptional SW Geometry from ALE Fibrations
We show that the genus 34 Seiberg-Witten curve underlying N = 2 Yang-Mills theory with gauge group E 6 yields physically equivalent results to the manifold obtained by fibration of the E 6 ALE singularity. This reconciles a puzzle raised by N = 2 string duality.
