N = 4 Supersymmetric Gauge Theory in the Derivative Expansion
نویسنده
چکیده
Maximally supersymmetric gauge theories have experienced renewed interest due to the AdS/CFT correspondence and its conjectured S-duality. These gauge theories possess a large amount of symmetry and have quasi-integrable properties. We derive the amplitudes in the derivative expansion of the spontaneously broken examples and perform all loop integrations. The S-matrix is found via an algebraic recursion and at each order is SL(2,Z) invariant.

Instantons, Higher-Derivative Terms, and Nonrenormalization Theorems in Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
We discuss the contribution of ADHM multi-instantons to the higher-derivative terms in the gradient expansion along the Coulomb branch of N = 2 and N = 4 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theories. In particular, using simple scaling arguments, we confirm the DineSeiberg nonperturbative nonrenormalization theorems for the 4-derivative/8-fermion term in the two finite theories (N = 4, and N = 2 with NF...
متن کاملConstraints on Higher Derivative Operators in Maximally Supersymmetric Gauge Theory
Following the work of Dine and Seiberg for SU(2), we study the leading irrelevant operators on the moduli space of N = 4 supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theory. These operators are argued to be one-loop exact, and are explicitly computed.
متن کاملA Note on Superfields and Noncommutative Geometry
We consider the supersymmetric field theories on the noncommutative R using the superspace formalism on the commutative space. The terms depending on the parameter of the noncommutativity Θ are regarded as the interactions. In this way we construct the N = 1 supersymmetric action for the U(N) vector multiplets and chiral multiplets of the fundamental, anti-fundamental and adjoint representation...
متن کاملNon - Abelian Semilocal Strings in N = 2 Supersymmetric QCD
We consider a benchmark bulk theory in four-dimensions: N = 2 supersymmetric QCD with the gauge group U(N) and N f flavors of fundamental matter hypermul-tiplets (quarks). The nature of the BPS strings in this benchmark theory crucially depends on N f. If N f ≥ N and all quark masses are equal, it supports non-Abelian BPS strings which have internal (orientational) moduli. If N f > N these stri...
متن کاملAspects of N T ≥ 2 Topological Gauge Theories and D-branes
We comment on various aspects of topological gauge theories possessing N T ≥ 2 topological symmetry: 1. We show that the construction of Vafa-Witten and Dijkgraaf-Moore of 'bal-anced' topological field theories is equivalent to an earlier construction in terms of N T = 2 superfields inspired by supersymmetric quantum mechanics. 2. We explain the relation between topological field theories calcu...
