标题： Seiberg-Witten and "Polyakov-like" magnetic bion confinements are continuously connected

摘要： 我们研究四维N=2超对称纯规范（Seiberg-Witten）理论及其通过紧致化S**1 x R**3的N=1质量扰动。 众所周知，在R**4（或大S**1）上，受扰理论通过单极子或磁电荷凝聚实现禁闭。 在小S**1情况下，我们证明禁闭是由Polyakov的三维瞬子机制推广到局部四维理论——磁性双子机制——所引起的，该机制也适用于一大类非超对称理论。 通过大-L与小-L的泊松对偶性，我们表明之前认为不同的两种禁闭机制实际上是可以连续连接的。 显示英文摘要

摘要： We study four-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric pure-gauge (Seiberg-Witten) theory and its N=1 mass perturbation by using compactification S**1 x R**3. It is well known that on R**4 (or at large S**1) the perturbed theory realizes confinement through monopole or dyon condensation. At small S**1, we demonstrate that confinement is induced by a generalization of Polyakov's three-dimensional instanton mechanism to a locally four-dimensional theory - the magnetic bion mechanism - which also applies to a large class of nonsupersymmetric theories. Using a large- vs. small-L Poisson duality, we show that the two mechanisms of confinement, previously thought to be distinct, are in fact continuously connected.
