Abstract
We study multiple 3-branes on an F theory orientifold. The world-volum e theory of the 3-branes is d = 4, N = 2 Sp(2k) gauge theory with an a ntisymmetric tensor and four flavors of matter in the fundamental. The solution of this gauge theory is found for vanishing bare mass of the antisymmetric tensor matter, and massive fundamental matter. The inte grable system underlying this theory is constructed.
