Supersymmetric Effective Actions in Four Dimensions
The aim of these lectures is to introduce some of the arguments that have been used successfully in the last five years to obtain exact information about strongly coupled field theories. I will focus on four-dimensional field theories (without gravity), although the techniques described here have been applied to theories in other dimensions and to string/M theory as well. The basic notion is th...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Index In Four-Dimensional Gauge Theories
This paper is devoted to a systematic discussion of the supersymmetric index Tr (−1) for the minimal supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory – with any simple gauge group G – primarily in four spacetime dimensions. The index has refinements that probe confinement and oblique confinement and the possible spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry and of global symmetries, such as charge conjugation, that ...
متن کاملThe Geometry of Supersymmetric Gauge Theories in Four Dimensions
We review the relations between (twisted) supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions and moduli problems in four-dimensional topology, and we study in detail the non-abelian monopole equations from this point of view. The relevance of exact results in N = 1 and N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories to the computation of topological invariants is emphasized. Some background material is provi...
متن کاملA Note on Supersymmetric WZW term in Four Dimensions
We reconsider the supersymmetric Wess-Zumino-Witten (SWZW) term in four dimensions. It has been known that the manifestly supersymmetric form of the SWZW term includes derivative terms on auxiliary fields, the highest components of chiral superfields, and then we cannot eliminate them by their equations of motion. We discuss a possibility for the elimination of such derivative terms by adding t...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Scattering in Two Dimensions
We briefly review results on two-dimensional supersymmetric quantum field theories that exhibit factorizable particle scattering. Our particular focus is on a series of N =1 supersymmetric theories, for which exact S-matrices have been obtained. A Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) analysis for these theories has confirmed the validity of the proposed S-matrices and has pointed at an interesting ...
