In these lectures we consider Hitchin integrable systems and their relations with the self-duality equations and twisted super-symmetric Yang-Mills theory in four dimension. We define the Symplectic Hecke correspondence between different integrable systems. As an example we consider Elliptic Calogero-Moser system and integrable Euler-Arnold top on coadjoint orbits of the group GL(N, C) and explain the Symplectic Hecke correspondence for these systems.

We classify possible "self-duality" equations for p-form gauge fields in space–time dimension up to D=16, generalizing the pioneering work of Corrigan et al. (1982) on Yang–Mills fields (p=1) in 4<D≤8. We impose two crucial requirements. First, there should exist a 2(p+1)-form T-invariant under a subgroup H of SO D. Second, the representation for the SO D curvature of the gauge field must decompose under H in a relevant way. When these criteria are fulfilled, the "self-duality" equations can be candidates of gauge functions for SO D-covariant and H-invariant topological quantum field theories. Intriguing possibilities occur for D≥10 for various p-form gauge fields.

A few isospectral problems are introduced by referring to that of the cKdV equation hierarchy, for which two types of integrable systems called the (1 + 1)-dimensional m-cKdV hierarchy and the g-cKdV hierarchy are generated, respectively, whose Hamiltonian structures are also discussed by employing a linear functional and the quadratic-form identity. The corresponding expanding integrable models of the (1 + 1)-dimensional m-cKdV hierarchy and g-cKdV hierarchy are obtained. The Hamiltonian structure of the latter one is given by the variational identity, proposed by Ma Wen-Xiu as well. Finally, we use a Lax pair from the self-dual Yang–Mills equations to deduce a higher dimensional m-cKdV hierarchy of evolution equations and its Hamiltonian structure. Furthermore, its expanding integrable model is produced by the use of a enlarged Lie algebra.PACS Nos.: 02.30, 03.40.K

The quantization of the noncommutative [Formula: see text], U(1) super-Yang–Mills action is performed in the superfield formalism. We calculate the one-loop corrections to the self-energy of the vector superfield. Although the power-counting theorem predicts quadratic ultraviolet and infrared divergences, there are actually only logarithmic UV and IR divergences, which is a crucial feature of noncommutative supersymmetric field theories.


We present a self-contained account of the ideas of R. Penrose connecting four-dimensional Riemannian geometry with three-dimensional complex analysis. In particular we apply this to the self-dual Yang-Mills equations in Euclidean 4-space and compute the number of moduli for any compact gauge group. Results previously announced are treated with full detail and extended in a number of directions.

We present the canonical set of superspace constraints for self-dual supergravity, a “self-dual” tensor multiplet and a self-dual Yang-Mills multiplet with N=1 supersymmetry in the space-time with signature (+,+, −, −). For this set of constraints, the consistency of the self-duality conditions on these multiplets with supersymmetry is manifest. The energy-momentum tensors of all the self-dual “matter” multiplets vanish, to be consistent with the self-duality of the Riemann tensor. In particular, the special significance of the “self-dual” tensor multiplet is noted. This result fills the gap left over in our previous series of papers, with respect to the consistent couplings among the self-dual matter multiplets. We also couple these nontrivial backgrounds to a Green-Schwarz superstring σ model, under the requirement of invariance under fermionic (kappa) symmetry. The finiteness of the self-dual supergravity is discussed, based on its “off-shell” structure. A set of exact solutions for the “self-dual” tensor and self-dual Yang-Mills multiplets for the gauge group SL(2) on a self-dual gravitational instanton background is given, and its consistency with the Green-Schwarz string σ model is demonstrated.

The Seiberg–Witten limit of fermionic N = 2 string theory with nonvanishing B-field is governed by noncommutative self-dual Yang–Mills theory (ncSDYM) in 2+2 dimensions. Conversely, the self-duality equations are contained in the equation of motion of N = 2 string field theory in a B-field background. Therefore finding solutions to noncommutative self-dual Yang–Mills theory on ℝ2,2 might help to improve our understanding of nonperturbative properties of string (field) theory. In this paper, we construct nonlinear soliton-like and multi-plane wave solutions of the ncSDYM equations corresponding to certain D-brane configurations by employing a solution generating technique, an extension of the so-called dressing approach. The underlying Lax pair is discussed in two different gauges, the unitary and the Hermitian gauge. Several examples and applications for both situations are considered, including Abelian solutions constructed from GMS-like projectors, noncommutative U(2) soliton-like configurations and interacting plane waves. We display a correspondence to earlier work on string field theory and argue that the solutions found here can serve as a guideline in the search for nonperturbative solutions of nonpolynomial string field theory.
