On noncommutative Nahm transform
Motivated by the recently observed relation between the physics of -branes
in the background of -field and the noncommutative geometry we study the
analogue of Nahm transform for the instantons on the noncommutative torus.Comment: Latex, 22 p
D-particle bound states and generalized instantons
We compute the principal contribution to the index in the supersymmetric
quantum mechanical systems which are obtained by reduction to 0+1 dimensions of
, super-Yang-Mills theories with gauge group SU(N).
The results are: for ,
for D=10. We also discuss the D=3 case.Comment: harvmac, 24 pages; v2. references added, typos corrected; v3. one

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 for \Sigma = {\IC}, {\IC}^{*} or elliptic
curve, and on 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
-branes and string duality.Comment: harvmac, 27 pp. big mode; v2. typos and references correcte
Integrating Over Higgs Branches
We develop some useful techinques for integrating over Higgs branches in
supersymmetric theories with 4 and 8 supercharges. In particular, we define a
regularized volume for hyperkahler quotients. We evaluate this volume for
certain ALE and ALF spaces in terms of the hyperkahler periods. We also reduce
these volumes for a large class of hyperkahler quotients to simpler integrals.
These quotients include complex coadjoint orbits, instanton moduli spaces on
R^4 and ALE manifolds, Hitchin spaces, and moduli spaces of parabolic Higgs
bundles on Riemann surfaces. In the case of Hitchin spaces the evaluation of
the volume reduces to a summation over solutions of Bethe Ansatz equations for
the non-linear Schroedinger system. We discuss some applications of our
results.Comment: 32pp. harvmac big mode; v.2 34pp. typos fixed, sections 4.1, 5.2
