The Coulomb branch of $N=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions is described in general by an integrable Hamiltonian system in the holomorphic sense. A natural construction of such systems comes from two-dimensional gauge theory and spectral curves. Starting from this point of view, we propose an integrable system relevant to the $N=2$ $SU(n)$ gauge theory with a hypermultiplet in the adjoint representation, and offer much evidence that it is correct. The model has an $SL(2,{\bf Z})$ $S$-duality group (with the central element $-1$ of $SL(2,{\bf Z})$ acting as charge conjugation); $SL(2,{\bf Z})$ permutes the Higgs, confining, and oblique confining phases in the expected fashion. We also study more exotic phases.

  1. TBA equations for $SU(r+1)$ quantum Seiberg-Witten curve: higher-order Mathieu equation

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    TBA equations are derived for the higher-order Mathieu equation of the SU(r+1) quantum Seiberg-Witten curve, with an analytic effective central charge and subleading agreement with the WKB method.

  2. Dimers for Relativistic Toda Models with Reflective Boundaries

    hep-th 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Dimer graphs are constructed for relativistic Toda chains of listed Lie algebra types, and Seiberg-Witten curves of 5d N=1 pure SYM for group G are identified as spectral curves of the dual Toda chain for G^vee.

    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.
