The Curve of Compactified 6D Gauge Theories and Integrable Systems
Harry W. Braden, Timothy J. Hollowood
We analyze the Seiberg-Witten curve of the six-dimensional N=(1,1) gauge theory compactified on a torus to four dimensions. The effective theory in four dimensions is a deformation…
Matrix Models, Geometric Engineering and Elliptic Genera
Timothy J. Hollowood, Amer Iqbal, Cumrun Vafa
We compute the prepotential of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions obtained by toroidal compactifications of gauge theories from 6 dimensions, as a function of Kah…
Critical Points of Glueball Superpotentials and Equilibria of Integrable Systems
Timothy J. Hollowood
We compare the matrix model and integrable system approaches to calculating the exact vacuum structure of general N=1 deformations of either the basic N=2 theory or its generalizat…
A Comment on the chi_y Genus and Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics
Timothy J. Hollowood, Tom Kingaby
In this note we show that a simple modification of supersymmetric quantum mechanics involving a mass term for half the fermions naturally leads to a derivation of the integral form…
Five-Dimensional Gauge Theories and Quantum Mechanical Matrix Models
Timothy J. Hollowood
We show how the Dijkgraaf-Vafa matrix model proposal can be extended to describe five-dimensional gauge theories compactified on a circle to four dimensions. This involves solving…
