Instanton Correction of Prepotential in Ruijsenaars Model Associated with N=2 SU(2) Seiberg-Witten Theory
Instanton correction of prepotential of one-dimensional SL(2) Ruijsenaars
model is presented with the help of Picard-Fuchs equation of Pakuliak-Perelomov
type. It is shown that the instanton induced prepotential reduces to that of
the SU(2) gauge theory coupled with a massive adjoint hypermultiplet.Comment: revtex, 15 pages, to be published in Journal of Mathematical Physic
String creation in D6-brane background
The production of string charge during a crossing of certain oriented
D-branes is studied. We compute the string charge in the system of a probe
D2-brane and a background D6-brane by use of the equations of motion in the
ten-dimensions. We confirm the creation of string charge as inflow from the
background D6-brane.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure, typos correcte
Dual WDVV Equations in N=2 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory
This paper studies the dual form of Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde (WDVV)
equations in N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory by applying a duality
transformation to WDVV equations. The dual WDVV equations called in this paper
are non-linear differential equations satisfied by dual prepotential and are
found to have the same form with the original WDVV equations. However, in
contrast with the case of weak coupling calculus, the perturbative part of dual
prepotential itself does not satisfy the dual WDVV equations. Nevertheless, it
is possible to show that the non-perturbative part of dual prepotential can be
determined from dual WDVV equations, provided the perturbative part is given.
As an example, the SU(4) case is presented. The non-perturbative dual
prepotential derived in this way is consistent to the dual prepotential
obtained by D'Hoker and Phong.Comment: misprints are corrected, revtex, 10 page
Conformal Moduli and b-c Pictures for NSR Strings
We explore the geometry of the superconformal moduli of the NSR superstring
theory in order to construct the consistent sigma-model for the NSR strings,
free of picture-changing ambiguities. The sigma-model generating functional is
constructed by the integration over the bosonic and anticommuting moduli,
corresponding to insertions of the vertex operators in scattering amplitudes.
In particular, the integration over the bosonic moduli results in the
appearance of picture-changing operators for the b-c system. Important example
of the b-c pictures involves the unintegrated and integrated forms of the
vertex operators. We derive the BRST-invariant expressions for the b-c
picture-changing operators for open and closed strings and study some of their
properties. We also show that the superconformal moduli spaces of the NSR
superstring theory contain the global singularities, leading to the appearance
of non-perturbative solitonic D-brane creation operators.Comment: 22 pages, references adde
Exact Charged 2-Body Motion and the Static Balance Condition in Lineal Gravity
We find an exact solution to the charged 2-body problem in
dimensional lineal gravity which provides the first example of a relativistic
system that generalizes the Majumdar-Papapetrou condition for static balance.Comment: latex,7 pages, 2 figure
Moduli space volume of vortex and localization
Volume of moduli space of BPS vortices on a compact genus h Riemann surface
Sigma_h is evaluated by means of topological field theory and localization
technique. Vortex in Abelian gauge theory with a single charged scalar field
(ANO vortex) is studied first and is found that the volume of the moduli space
agrees with the previous results obtained more directly by integrating over the
moduli space metric. Next we extend the evaluation to non-Abelian gauge groups
and multi-flavors of scalar fields in the fundamental representation. We find
that the result of localization can be consistently understood in terms of
moduli matrix formalism wherever possible. More details are found in our paper
in Prog.Theor.Phys.126 (2011) 637.Comment: 10 pages, talk at the international conference "quantum theory and

Supersymmetric D-brane Bound States with B-field and Higher Dimensional Instantons on Noncommutative Geometry
We classify supersymmetric D0-Dp bound states with a non-zero B-field by
considering T-dualities of intersecting branes at angles. Especially, we find
that the D0-D8 system with the B-field preserves 1/16, 1/8 and 3/16 of
supercharges if the B-field satisfies the ``(anti-)self-dual'' condition in
dimension eight. The D0-branes in this system are described by eight
dimensional instantons on non-commutative R^8. We also discuss the extended
ADHM construction of the eight-dimensional instantons and its deformation by
the B-field. The modified ADHM equations admit a sort of the `fuzzy sphere'
(embeddings of SU(2)) solution.Comment: 20 pages, LaTeX file, typos corrected and references adde
Intersecting black branes in strong gravitational waves
We consider intersecting black branes with strong gravitational waves
propagating along their worldvolume in the context of supergravity theories.
Both near-horizon and space-filling gravitational wave modes are included in
our ansatz. The equations of motion (originally, partial differential
equations) are shown to reduce to ordinary differential equations, which
include a Toda-like system. For special arrangements of intersecting black
branes, the Toda-like system becomes integrable, permitting a more thorough
analysis of the gravitational equations of motion.Comment: 17 pages; v2: cosmetic improvements, published versio
