We analyze the possible soft breaking of $N=2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with and without matter flavour preserving the analyticity properties of the Seiberg-Witten solution. For small supersymmetry breaking parameter with respect to…

We extend previous work on the soft breaking of $N=2$ supersymmetric QCD. We present the formalism for the breaking due to a dilaton spurion for a general gauge group and obtain the exact effective potential. We obtain some general features…

We present a general analysis of all the possible soft breakings of N=2 supersymmetric QCD, preserving the analytic properties of the Seiberg-Witten solutions for the SU(2) group with Nf=1, 2, 3 hypermultiplets. We obtain all the couplings…

We study the soft breaking of N=2 self-dual gauge theories down to N=0 by promoting the coupling constant and hypermultiplet masses to spurions, and we analyze the microscopic duality symmetry in the resulting models. Explicit formulae are…

We study the spectrum of the softly broken generalized Veneziano-Yankielowicz effective action for N=1 SUSY Yang-Mills theory. Two dual formulations of the effective action are given. The spurion method is used for the soft SUSY breaking.…

Several physics aspects of the Seiberg-Witten solution of N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with SU(2) gauge group, supplemented with a small mass term for the "matter" fields which leads to an $N=1$ theory with confinement, are…

We review recent work on the study of N=2 super Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(N) from the point of view of the Whitham hierarchy, mainly focusing on three main results: (i) We develop a new recursive method to compute the whole…

We give a self-contained discussion of recent progress in computing the non-perturbative effects of small non-holomorphic soft supersymmetry breaking, including a simple new derivation of these results based on an anomaly-free gauged U(1)_R…

We introduce new variables in four dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills theory. These variables emerge when we sum the path integral over classical solutions and represent the summation as an integral over appropriate degrees of freedom. In this…

We illustrate some physical application of a lattice formulation of the two-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ supersymmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills theory with a (small) supersymmetry breaking scalar mass. Two aspects, power-like behavior of…

We discuss the Seiberg-Witten solution of the non-commutative N=2 U(N) SYM model. The solution is described in terms of the ordinary Seiberg-Witten curve of the SU(N) theory plus an additional free U(1). Hence, at the two-derivative…

We analyze the vacuum structure of N=2, SU(2) QCD with massive quark hypermultiplets, once supersymmetry is softly broken down to N=0 with dilaton and mass spurions. We give general expressions for the low energy couplings of the effective…

These lectures provide an introduction to the behavior of strongly-coupled supersymmetric gauge theories. After a discussion of the effective Lagrangian in nonsupersymmetric and supersymmetric field theories, I analyze the qualitative…

We study the vacuum structure and dyon spectrum of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions, with gauge group SU(2). The theory turns out to have remarkably rich and physical properties which can nonetheless be described…

We give an explicit formalism connecting softly broken supersymmetric gauge theories (with QCD as one limit) to $N=2$ and $N=1$ supersymmetric theories possessing exact solutions, using spurion fields to embed these models in an enlarged…

Calculation by Douglas and Shenker of the tension ratios for vortices of different N-alities in the softly broken N=2 supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory, is carried to the second order in the adjoint multiplet mass m. Corrections to the…

We consider supergravity solutions of D5 branes wrapped on supersymmetric 2-cycles and use them to discuss relevant features of four-dimensional N=1 and N=2 super Yang-Mills theories with gauge group SU(n). In particular in the N=1 case,…

It is shown that the same essentially non-semiclassical mechanism, which generates in the nonsupersymmetric pure Yang-Mills theory the binary condensate of gauge field strengths, is responsible for the spontaneous breaking of the two…

Starting from the Maldacena-Nunez supergravity dual of N=1 super Yang-Mills theory we study the inclusion of a supersymmetry breaking gaugino mass term. We consider a class of non supersymmetric deformations of the MN solutions which have…

The partition function of general N = 2 supersymmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills theories on a four-sphere localizes to a matrix integral. We show that in the decompactification limit, and in a certain regime, the integral is dominated by a saddle…
