Abstract
Seiberg and Witten's proposed solution of N=2 SQCD with N_c=2 and N_F=4 is known to conflict with instanton calculations in three distinct ways. Here we show how to resolve all three discrepancies, simply by reparametrizing the elliptic curve in terms of quantities and rather than and . SL(2,Z) invariance of the curve is preserved. However, there is now an infinite ambiguity in the relation between and and between and , corresponding to an infinite number of unknown coefficients in the instanton expansion. Thus the reinterpreted curve (unlike the cases N_F<4) no longer determines the quantum modulus u as a function of the classical VEV a.
