Abstract
We study Baxter’s T-Q equation of XXX spin-chain models under the semiclassical limit where an intriguing SU(N)/SU(2)N−3 correspondence is found. That is, two kinds of 4D \( \mathcal{N} = 2 \) superconformal field theories having the above different gauge groups are encoded simultaneously in one Baxter’s T-Q equation which captures their spectral curves. For example, while one is SU(N c ) with N f = 2N c flavors the other turns out to be \( {\text{SU}}{(2)^{{N_c} - 3}} \) with N c hyper-multiplets (N c > 3). It is seen that the corresponding Seiberg-Witten differential supports our proposal.
