Description
I will describe a method for computing confinement in $4d$ $\mathcal{N}=1$ theories that can be obtained by deforming $4d$ $\mathcal{N}=2$ of Class S. Such theories generically do not admit a conventional Lagrangian description. The confinement for this class of $4d$ $\mathcal{N}=1$ theories can be captured in topological properties of a complex curve, known as $\mathcal{N}=1$ curve, which can be understood as the spectral curve associated to a generalized Hitchin system.
