We compute the prepotential of Script N= 2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four
dimensions obtained by toroidal compactifications of gauge theories from 6 dimensions, as …

We give an introduction to the recently-established connection between supersymmetric
gauge theories and matrix models. We begin by reviewing previous material that is required …

Even though matrix model partition functions do not exhaust the entire set of τ-functions
relevant for string theory, they seem to be elementary building blocks for many others and …

We analyze perturbative aspects of gauged matrix models, including those where classically
the gauge symmetry is partially broken. Ghost fields play a crucial role in the Feynman rules …

A bstract We study the two-matrix model for double-scaled SYK model, called ETH matrix
model introduced by Jafferis et al.[arXiv: 2209.02131]. If we set the parameters q A, q B of …

We prove that the quasiclassical tau-function of the multi-support solutions to matrix models,
proposed recently by Dijkgraaf and Vafa to be related to the Cachazo–Intrilligator–Vafa …

We consider the prepotential of Dijkgraaf and Vafa (DV) as one more (and in fact, singular)
example of the Seiberg–Witten (SW) prepotentials and discuss its properties from this …

Following the program, proposed in hep-th/0310113, of systematizing known properties of
matrix model partition functions (defined as solutions to the Virasoro-like sets of linear …

We investigate an exactly marginal Script N= 1 supersymmetric deformation of SU (N) Script
N= 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory discovered by Leigh and Strassler. We use a matrix …

We extend a recent scenario of Kachru, Kallosh, Linde and Trivedi to fix the string moduli
fields by using a combination of fluxes and non-perturbative superpotentials, leading to de …
