On certain aspects of string theory/gauge theory correspondence

Abstract

N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories for all classical gauge groups, that is, for SU(N), SO(N), and Sp(N) is considered. The formal expression for almost all models accepted by the asymptotic freedom are obtained. The equations which define the Seiberg-Witten curve are proposed. In some cases they are solved. It is shown that for all considered the 1-instanton corrections which follows from these equations agree with the direct computations. Also they agree with the computations based on Seiberg-Witten curves which come from the M-theory consideration. It is shown that for a large class of models the M-theory predictions matches with the direct compuatations. It is done for all considered models at the 1-instanton level. For some models it is shown at the level of the Seiberg-Witten curves.
