On the Seiberg-Witten Approach to electric-magnetic Duality

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Electric-magnetic duality allows to calculate the central charges of N=2 supersymmetric theories with massless hypermultiplets as derivatives of simple modular forms. The procedure reproduces the Seiberg-Witten results for N_f=0,2,3 in a uniform way, but indicates open problems for N_f=1.
