We solve N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories for arbitrary classical gauge group, i.e. SU(N), SO(N), Sp(N). In particular, we derive the prepotential of the low-energy effective theory, and the corresponding Seiberg-Witten curves. We manage to do this without resolving singularities of the compactified instanton moduli spaces.

Shell formulas for instantons and gauge origami
hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0

A new shell formula unifies and delivers explicit closed-form expressions plus recursions for instanton partition functions in 5d SYM and multiple gauge origami configurations using arbitrary-dimensional Young diagrams.
