A-D-ESingularity and the Seiberg-Witten Theory

Abstract: We study the low-energy effective theory of N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with ADE gauge groups in view of the spectral curves of the periodic Toda lattice and the A-D-E singularity theory. We examine the exact solutions by using the Picard-Fuchs equations for the period integrals of the Seiberg-Witten differential. In particular, we find that the superconformal fixed point in the strong coupling region of the Coulomb branch is characterized by the ADE superpotential. We compute the scaling exponents,… Show more

“…In this section, we study the quantum SW curve for N = 2 super Yang-Mills theory with A r -type gauge group and its scaling limit around the superconformal point [19,21]. The SW curve for A r type gauge group is defined by [25,26,27,28]…”

“…The SW curve for the gauge group G of a Lie algebra g is obtained as the spectral curve of the periodic Toda lattice associated with the dual of its affine Lie algebra ĝ∨ and a representation R of g [30]. After the degeneration of the curve, the SW curve becomes (see [31] for a review)…”

“…Such spectral curves are time independent since they describe the spectrum of L, and they play an essential role in solving the dynamical system. Roughly speaking, the family of Riemann surfaces C g necessary for the SeibergWitten data is given by the spectral curve (24) for the periodic Toda chain, whose Lax pair is defined in terms of the affine Lie algebra g (1) with the parameter z playing the role of the loop variable. Due to a physical requirement however, we should not consider the affine algebra g (1) but its dual (g (1) ) ∨ which is obtained by replacing roots with coroots.…”
