Constraints on Higher Derivative Operators in Maximally Supersymmetric Gauge Theory

Abstract

Following the work of Dine and Seiberg for SU(2), we study the leading irrelevant operators on the moduli space of N=4 supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theory. These operators are argued to be one-loop exact, and are explicitly computed.Comment: 6 pages, harvmac. Note added. (Only a subset of the leading irrelevant operators have been shown to be one-loop exact.
