Description
I will review the SW gravity correspondence that relates solutions of the Heun equation, governing perturbations of black hole, D-brane, fuzzball, and cosmological backgrounds, to partition functions of quiver gauge theories. Some applications to the study of scattering amplitudes and post-Newtonian expansions of gravitational waves will be briefly illustrated.
