Low-dimensional sisters of Seiberg-Witten effective theory
Résumé
We consider the theories obtained by dimensional reduction to D=1,2,3 of 4D supersymmetric Yang--Mills theories and calculate there the effective low-energy lagrangia describing moduli space dynamics -- the low-dimensional analogs of the Seiberg--Witten effective lagrangian. The effective theories thus obtained are rather beautiful and interesting from mathematical viewpoint. In addition, their study allows one to understand better some essential features of 4D supersymmetric theories, in particular -- the nonrenormalisation theorems.
