F-Theory, T-Duality on K3 Surfaces and N=2 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories in Four Dimensions

Original · EN

We construct T-duality on K3 surfaces. The T-duality exchanges a 4-brane R-R charge and a 0-brane R-R charge. We study the action of the T-duality on the moduli space of 0-branes located at points of K3 and 4-branes wrapping it. We apply the construction to F-theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau 4-fold and study the duality of N=2 SU(Nc) gauge theories in four dimensions. We discuss the generalization to the N=1 duality scenario.
