This talk gives an introduction into the subject of Seiberg-Witten curves and their relation to integrable systems. We discuss some motivations and origins of this relation and consider explicit construction of various families of Seiberg-Witten curves in terms of corresponding integrable models.

This is a very brief review of relations between Seiberg-Witten theories and integrable systems with emphasis on the perturbative prepotentials presented at the E.S.Fradkin Memorial Conference.

These lectures are devoted to the low energy limit of \N2 SUSY gauge theories, which is described in terms of integrable systems. A special emphasis is on a duality that naturally acts on these integrable systems. The duality turns out to be an effective tool in constructing the double elliptic integrable system which describes the six-dimensional Seiberg-Witten theory. At the same time, it implies a series of relations between other Seiberg-Witten systems.

In this note it is demonstrated how the Seiberg-Witten solutions and related integrable systems may arise from certain brane configurations in M-theory. Some subtleties of the formulation of the Seiberg-Witten theory via integrable systems are discussed and interpreted along the lines of general picture of string/M-theory dualities.

This is a survey of the work of Seiberg and Witten on 4-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and of some of its recent extensions, written for mathematicians. The point of view is that of algebraic geometry and integrable systems. An introductory chapter tries to describe some of the relevant physics for a reader with no physics background. This is followed by a review of the relevant properties of integrable systems. The remaining chapters describe the specific i...
