A New Derivation of the Picard-Fuchs Equations for Effective Super Yang-Mills Theories
A new method to obtain the Picard-Fuchs equations of effective
supersymmetric gauge theories in 4 dimensions is developed. It includes both
pure super Yang-Mills and supersymmetric gauge theories with massless matter
hypermultiplets. It applies to all classical gauge groups, and directly
produces a decoupled set of second-order, partial differential equations
satisfied by the period integrals of the Seiberg-Witten differential along the
1-cycles of the algebraic curves describing the vacuum structure of the
corresponding theory.Comment: Latex version, 43 pages, a few cosmetic changes and some references
