چکیده
We offer a derivation of the duality between the topological U(1) gauge theory on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold and the topological A-model on the same manifold. This duality was conjectured recently by Iqbal, Nekrasov, Okounkov, and Vafa. We deduce it from the S-duality of the IIB superstring. We also argue that the mirror version of this duality relates the topological B-model on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold and a topological sector of the Type IIA Little String Theory on the same manifold.

In this work we will present a method to employ a duality mechanism via introduction of gauge condensates on fully quantized topological Schwarz type actions. The restrictions in implementing this equivalence at quantum level is discussed and, some three-dimensional examples are presented.

As open N=2 or 4 strings describe self-dual N=4 super Yang-Mills in 2+2 dimensions, the corresponding closed (heterotic) strings describe self-dual un-gauged (gauged) N=8 supergravity. These theories are conveniently formulated in a chiral superspace with general supercoordinate and local OSp(8|2) gauge invariances. The super-light-cone and covariant-component actions are analyzed. Because only...

We extend the relation between instanton and monopole solutions of the selfduality equations in SU (2) gauge theory to noncommutative space-times. Using this approach we construct a noncommutative version of the Wu-Yang monopole satisfying the selfduality (Bogomol'nyi) equations in noncommutative U (2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory.
