On the Monodromies of N=2 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory with Gauge Group SO(2n)

Abstract

We present families of algebraic curves describing the moduli-space of $N\!=\!2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with gauge group $SO(2n)$. We test our curves by computing the weak coupling monodromies and the number of $N\!=\!1$ vacua.
