On Microscopic Origin of Integrability in Seiberg-Witten Theory
We discuss microscopic origin of integrability in Seiberg-Witten theory,
following mostly the results of hep-th/0612019, as well as present their
certain extension and consider several explicit examples. In particular, we
discuss in more detail the theory with the only switched on higher perturbation
in the ultraviolet, where extra explicit formulas are obtained using
bosonization and elliptic uniformization of the spectral curve.Comment: 24 pages, 1 figure, LaTeX, based on the talks at 'Geometry and

Thermodynamic limit of random partitions and dispersionless Toda hierarchy
We study the thermodynamic limit of random partition models for the instanton
sum of 4D and 5D supersymmetric U(1) gauge theories deformed by some physical
observables. The physical observables correspond to external potentials in the
statistical model. The partition function is reformulated in terms of the
density function of Maya diagrams. The thermodynamic limit is governed by a
limit shape of Young diagrams associated with dominant terms in the partition
function. The limit shape is characterized by a variational problem, which is
further converted to a scalar-valued Riemann-Hilbert problem. This
Riemann-Hilbert problem is solved with the aid of a complex curve, which may be
thought of as the Seiberg-Witten curve of the deformed U(1) gauge theory. This
solution of the Riemann-Hilbert problem is identified with a special solution
of the dispersionless Toda hierarchy that satisfies a pair of generalized
string equations. The generalized string equations for the 5D gauge theory are
shown to be related to hidden symmetries of the statistical model. The
prepotential and the Seiberg-Witten differential are also considered.Comment: latex2e using amsmath,amssymb,amsthm packages, 55 pages, no figure;

Complex Curve of the Two Matrix Model and its Tau-function
We study the hermitean and normal two matrix models in planar approximation
for an arbitrary number of eigenvalue supports. Its planar graph interpretation
is given. The study reveals a general structure of the underlying analytic
complex curve, different from the hyperelliptic curve of the one matrix model.
The matrix model quantities are expressed through the periods of meromorphic
generating differential on this curve and the partition function of the
multiple support solution, as a function of filling numbers and coefficients of
the matrix potential, is shown to be the quasiclassical tau-function. The
relation to softly broken N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories is discussed.
A general class of solvable multimatrix models with tree-like interactions is
considered.Comment: 36 pages, 10 figures, TeX; final version appeared in special issue of

On Integrable Systems and Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
The properties of the N=2 SUSY gauge theories underlying the Seiberg-Witten
hypothesis are discussed. The main ingredients of the formulation of the
finite-gap solutions to integrable equations in terms of complex curves and
generating 1-differential are presented, the invariant sense of these
definitions is illustrated. Recently found exact nonperturbative solutions to
N=2 SUSY gauge theories are formulated using the methods of the theory of
integrable systems and where possible the parallels between standard quantum
field theory results and solutions to integrable systems are discussed.Comment: LaTeX, 38 pages, no figures; based on the lecture given at INTAS

Conformal Mappings and Dispersionless Toda hierarchy
Let be the space consists of pairs , where is a
univalent function on the unit disc with , is a univalent function
on the exterior of the unit disc with and
. In this article, we define the time variables , on which are holomorphic with respect to the natural
complex structure on and can serve as local complex coordinates
for . We show that the evolutions of the pair with
respect to these time coordinates are governed by the dispersionless Toda
hierarchy flows. An explicit tau function is constructed for the dispersionless
Toda hierarchy. By restricting to the subspace consists
of pairs where , we obtain the integrable hierarchy
of conformal mappings considered by Wiegmann and Zabrodin \cite{WZ}. Since
every homeomorphism of the unit circle corresponds uniquely to
an element of under the conformal welding
, the space can be naturally
identified as a subspace of characterized by . We
show that we can naturally define complexified vector fields \pa_n, n\in \Z
on so that the evolutions of on
with respect to \pa_n satisfy the dispersionless Toda
hierarchy. Finally, we show that there is a similar integrable structure for
the Riemann mappings . Moreover, in the latter case, the time
variables are Fourier coefficients of and .Comment: 23 pages. This is to replace the previous preprint arXiv:0808.072
Fermion Propagators in Type II Fivebrane Backgrounds
The fermion propagators in the fivebrane background of type II superstring
theories are calculated. The propagator can be obtained by explicitly
evaluating the transition amplitude between two specific NS-R boundary states
by the propagator operator in the non-trivial world-sheet conformal field
theory for the fivebrane background. The propagator in the field theory limit
can be obtained by using point boundary states. We can explicitly investigate
the lowest lying fermion states propagating in the non-trivial ten-dimensional
space-time of the fivebrane background: M^6 x W_k^(4), where W_k^(4) is the
group manifold of SU(2)_k x U(1). The half of the original supersymmetry is
spontaneously broken, and the space-time Lorentz symmetry SO(9,1) reduces to
SO(5,1) in SO(5,1) x SO(4) \subset SO(9,1) by the fivebrane background. We find
that there are no propagations of SO(4) (local Lorentz) spinor fields, which is
consistent with the arguments on the fermion zero-modes in the fivebrane
background of low-energy type II supergravity theories.Comment: 15 page
On unquenched N=2 holographic flavor
The addition of fundamental degrees of freedom to a theory which is dual (at
low energies) to N=2 SYM in 1+3 dimensions is studied. The gauge theory lives
on a stack of Nc D5 branes wrapping an S^2 with the appropriate twist, while
the fundamental hypermultiplets are introduced by adding a different set of Nf
D5-branes. In a simple case, a system of first order equations taking into
account the backreaction of the flavor branes is derived (Nf/Nc is kept of
order 1). From it, the modification of the holomorphic coupling is computed
explicitly. Mesonic excitations are also discussed.Comment: 25 pages, 4 figure

Second and Third Order Observables of the Two-Matrix Model
In this paper we complement our recent result on the explicit formula for the
planar limit of the free energy of the two-matrix model by computing the second
and third order observables of the model in terms of canonical structures of
the underlying genus g spectral curve. In particular we provide explicit
formulas for any three-loop correlator of the model. Some explicit examples are
worked out.Comment: 22 pages, v2 with added references and minor correction
The Dn Ruijsenaars-Schneider model
The Lax pair of the Ruijsenaars-Schneider model with interaction potential of
trigonometric type based on Dn Lie algebra is presented. We give a general form
for the Lax pair and prove partial results for small n. Liouville integrability
of the corresponding system follows a series of involutive Hamiltonians
generated by the characteristic polynomial of the Lax matrix. The rational case
appears as a natural degeneration and the nonrelativistic limit exactly leads
to the well-known Calogero-Moser system associated with Dn Lie algebra.Comment: LaTeX2e, 14 pages; more remarks are added in the last sectio
