THE AFFLECK–DINE–SEIBERG SUPERPOTENTIAL

Preview

The previous chapter showed how holomorphy can determine the behaviour of pure SUSY Yang-Mills. This chapter turns to a case where there are quarks and squarks as well as gluons and gluinos. When the number of quark flavours is less than the number of colours, then holomorphy is again very powerful. Topics covered include symmetry and holomorphy, consistency of the ADS superpotential, mass perturbations, generating WADM from instantons, generating WADM from gaugino condensation, and vacuum structure. An exercise ends the chapter.

Keywords: holomorphy; quarks; squarks; gluons; gluinos; ADS superpotential; instantions; gaugino condensation; vacuum structure
