Donaldson-Witten Functions of Massless N=2 Supersymmetric QCD

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We study the Donaldson-Witten function in four-dimensional topological gauge theory which is constructed from N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory with Nf<4N_f < 4 massless fundamental hypermultiplets. When Nf=2,3N_f = 2,3, the strong-coupling singularities with multiple massless monopoles appear in the moduli space (the u-plane) of the Coulomb branch. We show that the invariants made out of such singularities exhibit a property which is similar to the one expected for four-manifolds of generalized simple type.
