Abstract

We describe the magnetic phase of SU(N) \({\mathcal {N}}=2\) super-Yang–Mills theories in the self-dual \(\Omega \)-background in terms of a new class of multi-cut matrix models. These arise from a non-perturbative completion of topological strings in the dual four-dimensional limit which engineers the gauge theory in the strongly coupled magnetic frame. The corresponding spectral determinants provide natural candidates for the \(\tau \)-functions of isomonodromy problems for flat spectral connections associated with the Seiberg–Witten geometry.
