Degeneracy of Decadent Dyons

A quarter-BPS dyon in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory is generically ‘decadent’ in that it is stable only in some regions of the moduli space and decays on submanifolds in the moduli space. Using this fact, and from the degeneracy of the system close to the decay, a new derivation for the degeneracy of such dyons is given. The degeneracy obtained from these very simple physical considerations is ...

Nevertheless because it combines semi formal and formal notations, it allows overcoming the traditional formal specification phase, which is very often mandatory for the development of software intensive system.
