摘要
We obtain the elliptic curve corresponding to an N = 2 superconformal held theory which has an E(6) global symmetry at the strong coupling point tau = e(pi i/3). We also find the Seiberg-Witten differential lambda(SW) for this theory. This differential has 27 poles corresponding to the fundamental representation of E(6). The complex conjugate representation has its poles on the other sheet. We also show that the E(6) curve reduces to the D-4 curve of Seiberg and Witten. Finally, we compute the monodromies and use these to compute BPS masses in an F-theory compactification.
