We explore a new connection between Seiberg-Witten theory and quantum statistical systems by relating the dual partition function of SU(2) Super Yang-Mills theory in a self-dual Omega-background to the spectral determinant of an ideal Fermi gas. We show that the spectrum of this gas is encoded in the zeroes of the Painleve III tau function. In addition we find that the Nekrasov partition function on this background can be expressed as an O(2) matrix model. Our construction arises as a four-dimensional limit of a recently proposed conjecture relating topological strings and spectral theory. In this limit, we provide a mathematical proof of the conjecture for the local P1xP1 geometry.

Five-brane webs, 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ theories and quantum curves
The Newton polygon of the quantum curve for a 3d N=2 brane configuration is conjectured to equal the toric diagram dual to its (p,q) 5-brane web, with derivations for Lagrangian cases and new matrix models for p>=2.

(1,k) CFT and RH problem with the c=-2 case
For (1,k) Virasoro models, periodic vertex operators plus two degenerate fields solve a modified Riemann–Hilbert problem; in the k=2, c=-2 case the solution is explicit and satisfies new bilinear identities.
