Multi-instanton calculus on ALE spaces

Abstract: We study SYM gauge theories living on ALE spaces. Using localization formulae we compute the prepotential (and its gravitational corrections) for SU(N) supersymmetric N = 2, 2 * gauge theories on ALE spaces of the A n type. Furthermore we derive the Poincaré polynomial describing the homologies of the corresponding moduli spaces of self-dual gauge connections. From these results we extract the N = 4 partition function which is a modular form in agreement with the expectations of SL(2, Z) duality.

“…In section 3 we present the microscopic computation of the instanton corrections for theories with gauge algebras in the classical B r and C r series using the equivariant localization methods [17][18][19][20]. This is necessary in order to have explicit "microscopic" data on the multi-instanton corrections which can then be used in order to prove S-duality or compared with the Sduality predictions.…”

“…The (quasi-)modular forms of Γ 0 (n g ) are known (see for instance [15,16]; see also [21] for a catalog and appendix B of [22] for a nice compendium). They form a ring generated by the basic elements 20) 3 Note that the S-duality transformation (2.9) lies outside this subgroup.…”
