Exact electric-magnetic duality in N = 2 supersymmetric QCD theories

Electric-magnetic duality in supersymmetric non-Abelian gauge theories

N=2 Supersymmetric Theories, Dyonic Charges and Instantons

In the first part of this thesis we give an introduction to electric-magnetic duality and N=2 supersymmetry. After that we describe type II string theory instantons in the supergravity approximation.…

Spontaneous conformal symmetry breaking and a massless Wu-Yang monopole

A formulation of $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with a spacetime-dependent gauge coupling allows to study the breaking of conformal symmetry at the quantum level. The theory has…

Confinement and duality in supersymmetric gauge theories

In this thesis we review the Seiberg-Witten solution of four dimensional N=2 gauge theories, the six-dimensional construction of these models recently proposed by Gaiotto and the BPS quiver technique…
