A Non-Technical Introduction to Confinement and N=2 Globally Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Gauge Theories
Abstract
Description
The aim of this talk is to give a brief introduction to the problem of confinement in QCD and to N=2 globally supersymmetric Yang-Mills gauge theories (SYM). While avoiding technicalities as much as possible I will try to emphasize the physical ideas which lie behind the picture of confinement as a consequence of the vacua of QCD to be a dual superconductor. Finally I review the implementation of this picture in the framework of N=2 SYM.
