abstract

In these lectures I review the general structure of electric--magnetic duality rotations in every even space--time dimension. In four dimensions, which is my main concern, I discuss the general issue of symplectic covariance and how it relates to the typical geometric structures involved by N=2 supersymmetry, namely Special K\"ahler geometry for the vector multiplets and either HyperK\"ahler or Quaternionic geometry for the hypermultiplets. I discuss classical continuous dualities versus non--perturbative discrete dualities. How the moduli space geometry of an auxiliary dynamical Riemann surface (or Calabi--Yau threefold) relates to exact space--time dualities is exemplified in detail for the Seiberg Witten model of an $SU(2)$ gauge theory.

    An N=8 supersymmetric mechanics with potential is built on rigid special Kähler manifolds, yielding bosonic Hamiltonians that include superintegrable deformations of the 2D oscillator and Coulomb problem.
