As a consequence the moduli space of magnetically charged solutions is related in a simple way to those of the SU(2) theory. This leads to a rather simple test of S-duality. On certain subspaces of the moduli space of vacua the forces between distinct monopoles cancel and the test of S-duality becomes more complicated.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1997-04-02T10:00:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "supersymmetric yang-mills theory", "semi-classical quantization", "moduli space", "supersymmetric gauge theory", "arbitrary gauge group" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "Plain TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 441773 } } }
