Singular points of prepotential, Seiberg-Witten curve and S-duality
The singular points of prepotential on u-plane
By studying the monodromy of and , we can find
that the prepotential has singular points. This can be described as
• These singular points means the emergence of new massless fields.
• This means that the prepotential must become a different form near
a different singular point. ( S-duality)
M-theory interpretation : singular points are intersection points of
M5-branes. [Witten ’97]

In the following, we consider, in particular,
• subgroup of S-duality without permutation of masses
mass : VEV of vector multiplet (adjoint) scalar
Then, there are three possible degeneration (i.e. weak coupling) limits
of a sphere with four punctures (i.e. fundamentals).

SU(2)1×SU(2)2 gauge theory with fundamental and bifundamental flavors
• When each gauge group is coupled to 4 flavors, this theory is
conformal.
• flavor symmetry ⊃ [SU(2)a×SU(2)b]×SU(2)e×[SU(2)c×SU(2)d]
flavor sym. of bifundamental hyper. : Sp(1) ~ SU(2) i.e. real
representation
• S-duality subgroup without permutation of masses
When the gauge coupling of SU(2)2 vanishes or is very weak, we can
discuss it in the same way as before for SU(2)1. The similar discussion
goes for (1 2). That is, this subgroup consists of the permutation of
five SU(2)’s.
cf. Note that two SL(2,Z) full S-duality groups do not commute! Here,
we analyze only the boundary of the gauge coupling moduli space.
