We study N=2 supersymmetric four dimensional gauge theories, in a certain N=2 supergravity background, called Omega-background. The partition function of the theory in the Omega-background can be calculated explicitly. We investigate various representations for this partition function: a statistical sum over random partitions, a partition function of the ensemble of random curves, a free fermion correlator. These representations allow to derive rigorously the Seiberg-Witten geometry, the curves, the differentials, and the prepotential. We study pure N=2 theory, as well as the theory with matter hypermultiplets in the fundamental or adjoint representations, and the five dimensional theory compactified on a circle.

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The paper derives moduli-modified functional relations for Wronskians of a classical Lax ODE that identify quantum states, produce Y-systems and TBA equations without scattering theory, and prove two Zamolodchikov con...

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Generalized Schur indices of N=2 class S theories are expressed using eigenfunctions of non-relativistic elliptic Calogero-Moser models, with extensions claimed for N=1 SCFTs via limits of models like Inozemtsev.

  7. One constant to rule them all

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In these supersymmetric theories, the coupling matrix has floor(N/2) independent constants under S-duality, with one distinguished constant that remains key in asymptotic and instanton regimes.
