- Description
- Starting from the bosonic part of N=2 Super QCD with a "Seiberg-Witten" <math> N=2</math> breaking mass term, we obtain string BPS conditions for arbitrary semi-simple gauge groups. We show that the vacuum structure is compatible with a symmetry breaking scheme which allows the existence of <math>Z_{k} -strings\,\!</math> and which has <math>Spin(10)\rightarrow SU(5)\times Z_{2}</math> as a particular case. We obtain BPS <math>Z_{k}-string \,\! </math> solutions and show that they satisfy the same first order differential equations and string tension as the BPS string for the <math> U(1)\,\!</math> case.
