Charges of dyons in image supersymmetric gauge theory Original Research Article

Expressions for electric and magnetic charges of dyons, which become massless in the strong-coupling limit of the supersymmetric image gauge theory with an arbitrary gauge group are presented. Transitions into different vacua of the image gauge theory, when the image supersymmetry is broken explicitly to the image case, are discussed. The existence of a minimal set of light dyons, which are necessary to describe this transition, is established. The total number of these dyons equals the product of the rank and dual Coxeter number of the gauge group. A conjecture, which states that this minimal set incorporates all possible light dyons, is discussed. A relation of dyon charges with monodromies at weak and strong couplings is outlined and comparison with known charges of dyons for particular gauge groups is made.
