Higher order contributions to the effective action of N=2 super Yang-Mills

Abstract

We apply heat kernel techniques in N=1 superspace to compute the one-loop effective action to order $F^5$ for chiral superfields coupled to a non-Abelian super Yang-Mills background. The results, when combined with those of hep-th/0210146, yield the one-loop effective action to order $F^5$ for any N=2 super Yang-Mills theory coupled to matter hypermultiplets.
