报告摘要:What is mirror symmetry ? Mirror symmetry is a relation between generating function of Gromov-Witten invariants (A-model) and period integrals (B-model). From viewpoint of gauge theory and instanton counting, it is a duality between Nekrasov partition function and Seiberg-Witten prepotential. In this talk, I will focus on 5d N = 1 Sp(N) gauge theory with N_f (≤2N + 3) flavors and explain the computations aboutNekrasov partition function based on topological vertex algorithm of5-brane web with O5-plane which corresponds to Sp(N) geometry. Withthe help of random partition technique, Nekrasov partition function can berewritten in terms of profile function, after taking thermodynamic limit andfunctional derivatives, the saddle point equation can be derived for theprofile function. By introducing the resolvent, the corresponding Seiberg-Witten geometry and boundary conditions are derived and the relations with the prepotential in terms of the cycle integrals are discussed.They coincide with those directly obtained from the dual graph of the5-brane web with O5-plane. This agreement gives further evidence formirror symmetry which relates Nekrasov partition function with Seiberg-Witten curve in the case with orientifold plane. This talk is based on joint work with Futoshi Yagi.
