Abstract

Using the ADHM instanton calculus, we evaluate the one-instanton contribution to the low-energy effective prepotential of N=2 supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory with NF flavors of hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation and a hypermultiplet in the symmetric rank two tensor representation. For NF<N-2, when the theory is asymptotically free, our result is compared with the exact solution that was obtained using M-theory and we find complete agreement.
