Multi-instanton calculus in N=2 supersymmetric QCD

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v2

Abstract

Microscopic tests of the exact results are performed in N=2 SU(2) supersymmetric QCD. We construct the multi-instanton solution in N=2 supersymmetric QCD and calculate the two-instanton contribution F2{\cal F}_2 to the prepotential F{\cal F} explicitly. For Nf=1,2N_f=1,2, instanton calculus agrees with the prediction of the exact results, however, for Nf=3N_f=3, we find a discrepancy between them.
