Geometry of Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory

Abstract:

In supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory relevant information about the
quantum theory is contained in a holomorphic function, called prepotential.
This prepotential is determined indirectly with the help of the
symplectic geometry of a family of certain algebraic curves.

We discuss the origin of these algebraic curves from the field theory
point of view.
