On Affleck-Dine-Seiberg Superpotential and Magnetic Monopoles in Supersymmetric QCD
N. Michael Davies, Valentin V. Khoze
Abstract
Certain exact results in supersymmetric gauge theories are generated by non-perturbative effects different from instantons. In supersymmetric QCD with N colours and Nf fundamental flavours we examine the Affleck-Dine-Seiberg (ADS) superpotential using controlled semi-classical analysis. We show how for Nf < N-1 the ADS superpotential arises from monopole contributions to the path integral of the supersymmetric gauge theory compactified on R3*S1. These are the monopole effects leading to gaugino condensation and confinement of the low-energy SU(N-Nf) supersymmetric gauge theory.
