Abstract

We construct the duality groups for N=2 Supersymmetric QCD with gauge group SU(2n+1) and N_f=4n+2 hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. The groups are generated by two elements SS and TT that satisfy a relation (STS1T)2n+1=1(STS^{-1}T)^{2n+1}=1. Thus, the groups are not subgroups of SL(2,Z)SL(2,Z). We also construct automorphic functions that map the fundamental region of the group generated by TT and STSSTS to the Riemann sphere. These automorphic functions faithfully represent the duality symmetry in the Seiberg-Witten curve.
