This chapter focuses on the general framework of 4d gauge theories with \(\mathcal N=1\) supersymmetry, of which \(\mathcal N=2\) theories form a special subset. We first discuss the symmetries that govern 4d quantum field theories, offering essential background for understanding supersymmetric models. Following this, we explore the classical properties of \(4d\mathcal N=1\) gauge theories, with particular emphasis on the construction of \(\mathcal N=1\) Lagrangian densities. Lastly, we address the quantum aspects of these theories, delving into key topics such as renormalization, anomalies, holomorphy, and quantum corrections to moduli spaces. This groundwork will prepare us for a deeper study of \(\mathcal N=2\) dynamics and, ultimately, spectral networks.

摘要

This chapter focuses on the general framework of 4d gauge theories with \(\mathcal N=1\) supersymmetry, of which \(\mathcal N=2\) theories form a special subset. We first discuss the symmetries that govern 4d quantum field theories, offering essential background for understanding supersymmetric models. Following this, we explore the classical properties of \(4d\mathcal N=1\) gauge theories, with particular emphasis on the construction of \(\mathcal N=1\) Lagrangian densities. Lastly, we address the quantum aspects of these theories, delving into key topics such as renormalization, anomalies, holomorphy, and quantum corrections to moduli spaces. This groundwork will prepare us for a deeper study of \(\mathcal N=2\) dynamics and, ultimately, spectral networks.
