F-Theory, Seiberg-Witten Curves and N = 2 Dualities

Understand

F-theoretic constructions can alternatively be understood as consequences of certain N = 2 Seiberg-Witten theories via type IIB r D3s probing the quantum corrected orientifold backgrounds.

• We present four models that come out from such consideration.
• In Model 1, the 7-branes wrap the flat R^4 directions, leading to the well known Sp(2r) theories.
• We study singularity structure of moduli space of Seiberg-Witten curve, such as maximal Argyres-Douglas loci, in order to construct 1-1 map between moduli spaces.
