dc.description.abstract	In this thesis AGT-W conjecture is reviewed. AGT conjecture is a phenomenon which is shown by Luis F. Alday, Davide Gaiotto and Yuji Tachikawa in their paper published in 2009. It relates the partition functions of both N = 2 supersymmetric U(2), SU(2) gauge theories and Liouville ﬁeld theory which is a type of conformal ﬁeld theory. One month later, Niclas Wyllard extended the conjecture and proved the connection between N = 2 supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theories and AN−1 Toda ﬁeld theories. In addition to AGT-W conjecture, gauge/Liouville Triality, spectral duality and 2D/4D duality through Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit are summarized. N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories are also studied in type IIA, IIB and topological string theory background.
