On noncommutative Nahm transform

Motivated by the recently observed relation between the physics of $D$-branes in the background of $B$-field and the noncommutative geometry we study the analogue of Nahm transform for the instantons on the noncommutative torus.Comment: Latex, 22 p

The Character of Pure Spinors

The character of holomorphic functions on the space of pure spinors in ten, eleven and twelve dimensions is calculated. From this character formula, we derive in a manifestly covariant way various central charges which appear in the pure spinor formalism for the superstring. We also derive in a simple way the zero momentum cohomology of the pure spinor BRST operator for the D=10 and D=11 superparticle.Comment: 42 pages, 2 picture

Hilbert Schemes, Separated Variables, and D-Branes

We explain Sklyanin's separation of variables in geometrical terms and construct it for Hitchin and Mukai integrable systems. We construct Hilbert schemes of points on $T^{*}\Sigma$ for \Sigma = {\IC}, {\IC}^{*} or elliptic curve, and on ${\bf C}^{2}/{\Gamma}$ and show that their complex deformations are integrable systems of Calogero-Sutherland-Moser type. We present the hyperk\"ahler quotient constructions for Hilbert schemes of points on cotangent bundles to the higher genus curves, utilizing the results of Hurtubise, Kronheimer and Nakajima. Finally we discuss the connections to physics of $D$-branes and string duality.Comment: harvmac, 27 pp. big mode; v2. typos and references correcte

Matone's relation of N=2 super Yang-Mills and spectrum of Toda chain

In N=2 super Yang-Mills theory, the Matone's relation relates instanton corrections of the prepotential to instanton corrections of scalar field condensation . This relation has been proved to hold for Omega deformed theories too, using localization method. In this paper, we first give a case study supporting the relation, which does not rely on the localization technique. Especially, we show that the magnetic expansion also satisfies a relation of Matone's type. Then we discuss implication of the relation for the spectrum of periodic Toda chain, in the context of recently proposed Nekrasov-Shatashvili scheme.Comment: 17 pages; v2 minor changes, references added; v3 more material added in 2nd section, clarification in 4th sectio
