High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v3

Abstract

We compute the one-loop non-holomorphic effective potential for the N=4 SU(n) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with the gauge symmetry broken down to the maximal torus. Our approach remains powerful for arbitrary gauge groups and is based on the use of N=2 harmonic superspace formulation for general N=2 Yang-Mills theories along with the superfield background field method.
