On Gaugino Condensation with Field-Dependent Gauge Couplings

We study in detail gaugino condensation in globally and locally supersymmetric Yang– Mills theories. We focus on models for which gauge-neutral matter couples to the gauge bosons only through nonminimal gauge kinetic terms, for the cases of one and several condensing gauge groups. Using only symmetry arguments, the low-energy expansion, and general properties of supersymmetry, we compute the low energy Wilson action, as well as the (2PI) …
