Focusing on the equations defining the Riemann surface that describes the quantum theory, the gaugino condensates (and related superpotentials) are calculated in the limit of SU(N) gauge group, both in the pure theory and in the presence of matter. In the case without fundamental matter it is investigated the structure of the space of vacua. In particular it is discussed how different vacua can be related, in a way which finally helps to count them.15+1 pages; references addedHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
