High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We review a recent progress in constructing low-energy effective action in N=4 super Yang-Mills theories. Using harmonic superspace approach we consider N=4 SYM in terms of unconstrained N=2 superfield and apply N=2 background field method to finding effective action for N=4 SU(n) SYM broken down to U(n)n1^{n-1}. General structure of leading low-energy corrections to effective action is discussed.
