Factorization of Seiberg-Witten Curves with Fundamental Matter

چکیده
We present an explicit construction of the factorization of Seiberg-Witten curves for N = 2 theory with fundamental flavors. We first rederive the exact results for the case of complete factorization, and subsequently derive new results for the case with breaking of gauge symmetry U(Nc) → U(N1)×U(N2). We also show that integrality of periods is necessary and sufficient for factorization in the case of general gauge symmetry breaking. Finally, we briefly comment on the relevance of these results for the structure of N = 1 vacua.

N = 2 gauge theories broken down to N = 1 by a tree level superpotential are necessarily at the points in the moduli space where the Seiberg-Witten curve factorizes. We find exact solution to the factorization problem of Seiberg-Witten curves associated with the breaking of the U(Nc) gauge group down to two factors U(N1) × U(N2). The result is a function of three discrete parameters and two con...

Linear recursion relations for the instanton corrections to the effective prepotential are derived for N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories with one hypermultiplet in the adjoint representation of SU(N) using the Calogero-Moser parameterization of the Seiberg-Witten spectral curves. S-duality properties of the Calogero-Moser parameterization and conjectures on the Seiberg-Witten spectral curves ge...
