Seminar on Algebra, Geometry and Physics Elliptic hypergeometric integrals (introduced by the speaker in 2000) represent the
top known level of special functions of hypergeometric type. They appear to describe
superconformal indices of four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge field theories.
Superconformal indices of theories related by the Seiberg duality coincide as a
consequence of nontrivial identities for corresponding integrals. In the talk we show
that 't Hooft anomaly matching conditions for dual theories are related to
SL(3,Z) modular transformation properties of the kernels of dual indices (this is a
joint work with G.S. Vartanov).
