Renormalisation Flow and Geodesics on the Moduli Space of Four Dimensional N = 2 Supersymmetric Yang - Mills Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that the β-functions for four dimensional N = 2 supersymmetric YangMills theory without matter give integral curves on the moduli space some of which are geodesics of the natural metric on the moduli space. In particular the flow lines which cross-over from from the weak coupling limit (asymptotically free theory) to the singular points, representing the strong coupling limit, are geodesics. A possible connection with irreversibility is discussed. PACS Nos. 11.10.Hi, 11.30.Pb, 12.60.Jv, 02.40.Ky

Three Dimensional Gauge Theories and Monopoles
The coulomb branch of N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills gauge theories in d = 2 + 1 is studied. A direct connection between gauge theories and monopole moduli spaces is presented. It is proposed that the hyper-Kähler metric of supersymmetric N = 4 SU(N) Yang-Mills theory is given by the charge N centered moduli space of BPS monopoles in SU(2). The theory is compared to N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-M...
متن کاملN = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory
In this final project, we will report our understanding of Seiberg Witten theory [1][2]. The low energy effective theory of N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-mill theory has a non-trivial quantum moduli space. And the structure of the moduli space can be exactly determined by the property near the singularities of the moduli space. This theory also provide a example for electric-magnetic duality. In th...
متن کاملOn aBoundary CFTDescription of NonperturbativeN = 2Yang-Mills Theory
We describe a simple method for determining the strong-coupling BPS spectrum of four dimensional N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. The idea is to represent the magnetic monopoles and dyons in terms of Dbrane boundary states of a non-compact d = 2 N = 2 Landau-Ginzburg model. In this way the quantum truncated BPS spectrum at the origin of the moduli space can be directly mapped to the fini...
متن کاملBranes and N=1 Duality in String Theory
We propose a construction of dual pairs in four dimensional N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory using branes in type IIA string theory. Supersymmetric gauge theories invariant under eight or sixteen supercharges (e.g. N=2 and N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories in four dimensions, respectively) have been intensively studied in the last few years. Many of the diverse strong coupling phenomen...
متن کاملBPS Geodesics in N = 2 Supersymmetric Yang - Mills Theory
We introduce some techniques for making a more global analysis of the existence of geodesics on a Seiberg-Witten Riemann surface with metric ds 2 = |λ SW | 2. Because the existence of such geodesics implies the existence of BPS states in N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, one can use these methods to study the BPS spectrum in various phases of the Yang-Mills theory. By way of illustration,...
