Low Energy Dynamics of N=2 Supersymmetric Monopoles

چکیده
It is argued that the low-energy dynamics of k monopoles in N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are determined by an N=4 supersymmetric quantum mechanics based on the moduli space of k static monople solutions. This generalises Manton’s “geodesic approximation” for studying the low-energy dynamics of (bosonic) BPS monopoles. We discuss some aspects of the quantisation and in particular argue that dolbeault cohomology classes of the moduli space are related to bound states of the full quantum field theory.

Low Energy Dynamics of Monopoles in Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theories with Hypermultiplets
We derive the low energy dynamics of monopoles and dyons in N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with hypermultiplets in arbitrary representations by utilizing a collective coordinate expansion. We consider the most general case that Higgs fields both in the vector multiplet and in the hypermultiplets have nonzero vacuum expectation values. The resulting theory is a supersymmetric quantum m...
متن کاملDuality, Multi-Monopole Dynamics & Quantum Threshold Bound States
Dynamics of supersymmetric monopoles are studied in the low energy approximation. A conjecture for the exact moduli space metric is given for all collections of fundamental monopoles of distinct type, and various partial confirmations of the conjecture are outlined. Upon the quantization of the resulting multi-monopole dynamics in the context of N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills-Higgs theories, o...
متن کاملMagnetic Monopole Dynamics, Supersymmetry, and Duality
We review the properties of BPS, or supersymmetric, magnetic monopoles, with an emphasis on their low-energy dynamics and their classical and quantum bound states. After an overview of magnetic monopoles, we discuss the BPS limit and its relation to supersymmetry. We then discuss the properties and construction of multimonopole solutions with a single nontrivial Higgs field. The low-energy dyna...
متن کاملDynamics of Multiple Kaluza - Klein Monopoles in M - and String Theory
We analyse the world-volume theory of multiple Kaluza-Klein monopoles in string and M-theory by identifying the appropriate zero modes of various fields. The results are consistent with supersymmetry, and all conjectured duality symmetries. In particular for M-theory and type IIA string theory, the low energy dynamics of N Kaluza-Klein monopoles is described by supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory,...

We review characteristic features of N = 2 supersymmetric vector mul-tiplets and discuss symplectic reparametrizations and their relevance for monopoles and dyons. We close with an analysis of perturbative corrections to the low-energy effective action of N = 2 heterotic superstring vacua. ABSTRACT We review characteristic features of N = 2 supersymmetric vector multiplets and discuss symplecti...
