We calculate the subleading terms in the Born–Oppenheimer expansion for the effective zero-mode Hamiltonian of N = 1, d = 4 supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory with any gauge group. The Hamiltonian depends on 3r abelian gauge potentials Ak (k = 1, 2, 3, s = 1, . . . , r, r is the rank of the group), and their superpartners. The Hamiltonian belongs to the class ofN = 2 supersymmetric QM Hamiltonian...
