Explicit Formulas for the Scalar Modes in Seiberg–Witten Theory with an Application to the Argyres–Douglas Point
نویسنده
چکیده
General formulas for the scalar modes ai and a i D in the Seiberg–Witten SU(N) setting are derived in the cases with and without massive hypermultiplets. Subsequently these formulas are applied in a study of the SU(3) Argyres–Douglas point. We use this example to study the question, whether the scalar modes admit an interpretation in terms of BPS mass states everywhere in moduli space. The paper collects, in an appendix, various facts on the function Lauricella F (n) D , which naturally appears in the derived formulas.

Explicit Formulas for the Scalar Modes in Seiberg–Witten Theory
In this thesis, general formulas for the scalar modes ai and a i D in the Seiberg– Witten SU(N) setting are derived in the cases with and without massive hypermultiplets. These formulas are applied in two cases: (i) the asymptotic behavior of the scalar modes in the asymptotically free region of moduli space is derived in the SU(2) case, (ii) the SU(3) Argyres–Douglas point is studied. In the l...
متن کاملDeconfinement at the Argyres - Douglas point in SU ( 2 ) gauge theory with broken N = 2 supersymmetry
We consider chiral condensates in SU(2) gauge theory with broken N= 2 super-symmetry. The matter sector contains an adjoint multiplet and one fundamental flavor. Matter and gaugino condensates are determined by integrating out the ad-joint field. The only nonperturbative input is the Affleck-Dine-Seiberg (ADS) super-potential generated by one instanton plus the Konishi anomaly. These results ar...
متن کاملRamification Points of Seiberg-Witten Curves
When the Seiberg-Witten curve of a four-dimensional N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theory wraps a Riemann surface as a multi-sheeted cover, a topological constraint requires that in general the curve should develop ramification points. We show that, while some of the branch points of the covering map can be identified with the punctures that appear in the work of Gaiotto, the ramification points gi...
متن کاملMonopole , gluino and charge condensates in gauge theories with broken N = 2 supersymmetry 1
We consider chiral condensates in SU(2) gauge theory with brokenN=2 supersymmetry and one fundamental flavor in the matter sector. Matter and gaugino condensates are determined by integrating out the adjoint field. The only nonperturbative input is the Affleck-Dine-Seiberg one-instanton superpotential. The results are consistent with those obtained by the ‘integrating in’ procedure. We then cal...
متن کاملOn Non-l 2 Solutions to the Seiberg–witten Equations
We show that a previous paper of Freund describing a solution to the Seiberg– Witten equations has a sign error rendering it a solution to a related but different set of equations. The non-L 2 nature of Freund's solution is discussed and clarified and we also construct a whole class of solutions to the Seiberg–Witten equations. § 1. Introduction With the introduction of the Seiberg–Witten equat...
