Abstract

We consider 4D4D, N=4\mathcal{N}=4, SU(N)SU(N) super Yang-Mills theory formulated in terms of N=1\mathcal{N}=1 superfields where the leading low-energy contributions to effective action are given by chiral effective potential. This effective potential is calculated in one- and higher-loop approximations. It is shown that this potential is automatically finite and proportional to the classical chiral potential. All quantum corrections are found explicitly and factored into a coefficient at the classical potential.
