On the WDVV Equation and M-Theory
Abstract
A wide class of Seiberg-Witten models constructed by M-theory techniques and described by non-hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces are shown to possess an associative algebra of holomorphic differentials. This is a first step towards proving that also these models satisfy the Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde equation. In this way, similar results known for simpler Seiberg-Witten models (described by hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces and constructed without recourse to M-theory) are extended to certain non-hyperelliptic cases constructed in M-theory. Our analysis reveals a connection between the algebra of holomorphic differentials on the Riemann surface and the configuration of M-theory branes of the corresponding Seiberg-Witten model.
