Abstract

The role of instantons in three dimensional N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills theory is studied, especially in relation to the issue of confinement. The instanton-induced low energy effective action is derived by extending the dilute gas approximation to the super-moduli space of instantons. Following Polyakov's description of confinement in compact U(1) gauge theory, it is argued that there is no confinement in N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory.
