Solving N = 2 Sym by Reflection Symmetry of Quantum Vacua
نویسنده
چکیده
The recently rigorously proved nonperturbative relation u = πi(F − a∂ a F /2), underlying N = 2 SYM with gauge group SU(2), implies the reflection symmetry u(τ) = u(−¯ τ). This symmetry is the key point to determine the moduli space of quantum vacua. It turns out that the functions a(u) and a D (u), which we derive from first principles, actually coincide with the solution proposed by Seiberg and Witten. ‡ Work supported by the European Commission TMR programme ERBFMRX–CT96–0045, in which M.M and M.T. are associated to.

We consider N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory formulated in terms of N = 2 superfields in harmonic superspace. Using the background field method we define manifestly gauge invariant and N = 2 supersymmetric effective action depending on N = 2 strength superfields and develop a general procedure for its calculation in one-loop approximation. Explicit form for this effective action is found ...
متن کاملQuantum Black Holes in Heterotic String Vacua
N = 2 supersymmetric quantum black holes in the heterotic S-T -U model are presented. In particular three classes of axion-free quantum black holes with half the N = 2, D = 4 supersymmetries unbroken are considered. First, these quantum black holes are investigated at generic points in moduli space. Then “linearized” non-abelian black holes are considered, which can occur at critical points of ...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanical Sectors in Thermal N = 4 Super Yang - Mills on R × S
We study the thermodynamics of U(N) N = 4 Super Yang-Mills (SYM) on R × S3 with non-zero chemical potentials for the SU(4) R-symmetry. We find that when we are near a point with zero temperature and critical chemical potential, N = 4 SYM on R × S3 reduces to a quantum mechanical theory. We identify three such critical regions giving rise to three different quantum mechanical theories. Two of th...
متن کاملString Theory Duals for Mass - deformed SO ( N ) and USp ( 2 N ) N = 4 SYM Theories
We generalize the results of Polchinski and Strassler regarding the N = 1-preserving mass deformation of N = 4 SU(N) SYM theories and its string theory dual to SO(N) and USp(2N) gauge groups. The string theory duals involve 5-branes wrapped on RP. In order to match with the field theory classification of vacua, the 3-brane charge carried by such 5-branes must be shifted by a half, and this foll...
