On relation between Nekrasov functions and BS periods in pure SU(N) case

Abstract

We investigate the duality between the Nekrasov function and the quantized Seiberg-Witten prepotential, first guessed in [1] and further elaborated in [2] and [3]. We concentrate on providing more thorough checks than the ones presented in [3] and do not discuss the motivation and historical context of this duality. The check of the conjecture up to $o (\hbar^6, \ln (\Lambda))$ is done by hands for arbitrary $N$ (explicit formulas are presented). Moreover, details of the calculation that are essential for the computerization of the check are worked out. This allows us to test the conjecture up to $\hbar^6$ and up to higher powers of $\Lambda$ for $N = 2,3,4$. Only the case of pure SU(N) gauge theory is considered.
