70 Chapter 4. <strong>Bethe</strong>/gauge• describe the relation between twisted masses and the isometries of supersymmetric sigmamodels, and take a look at the Omega deformation;• treat the calculation of ˜W eff in more detail in the nonabelian case, especially for the adjointmatter superfields;• consider quiver gauge theories;• discuss (twisted) chiral rings, topological field theory, and topological twisting;• look at the Nekrasov partition function and instantons; and• understand the link with string theory and branes.We also plan to include the more recent work of Nekrasov and Shatashvili [4, 60].In addition, there are several papers of others that are related to the <strong>Bethe</strong>/gauge correspondenceand are worth looking into. We mention the conjecture of Alday, Gaiotto andTachikawa [71], the work of Orlando and Reffert, starting with [72], and the papers of Dorey etal [73].Further directions. Of course there are several aspects of the <strong>Bethe</strong>/gauge correspondencethat are not yet well-understood; see the discussions of [3, 4]. For example, in our schematic representationof the <strong>Bethe</strong>/gauge correspondence, the top right is conspicuously empty. It wouldbe interesting to try and lift the <strong>Bethe</strong>/gauge correspondence beyond the vacuum structure ofthe gauge theory:<strong>Bethe</strong><strong>Gauge</strong>N = (2, 2) sym? ? ? ←→ with massive matterlow energy limitquantum integrable model ←→ vacua on Coulomb branchAnother interesting possible direction of future research is to investigate the relation betweenthe <strong>Bethe</strong>/gauge correspondence and integrability in AdS/CFT.
