Proving the Absence of the Perturbative Corrections to the N=2 U(1) K\"ahler Potential Using the N=1 Supergraph Techniques

Abstract

Perturbative N=2 non-renormalization theorem states that there is no perturbative correction to the Kahler potential \int d^4\theta K(\Phi,\bar{\Phi}). We prove this statement by using the N=1 supergraph techniques. We consider the N=2 supersymmetric U(1) gauge theory which possesses general prepotential F(\Psi).
