Abstract:
We derive a modular anomaly equation satisfied by the prepotential of the
N = 2 โ supersymmetric theories with non-simply laced gauge algebras, including the
classical B r and C r infinite series and the exceptional F 4 and G 2 cases. This equation
determines the exact prepotential recursively in an expansion for small mass in terms of
quasi-modular forms of the S-duality group. We also discuss the behaviour of these theories
under S-duality and show that the prepotential of the SO(2r + 1) theory is mapped to that
of the Sp(2r) theory and viceversa, while the exceptional F 4 and G 2 theories are mapped
into themselves (up to a rotation of the roots) in analogy with what happens for the N = 4
supersymmetric theories. These results extend the analysis for the simply laced groups
presented in a companion paper.
