Abstract
We analyze the vacuum structure of N=2, SU(2) QCD with massive quark hypermultiplets, once supersymmetry is softly broken down to N=0 with dilaton and mass spurions. We give general expressions for the low energy couplings of the effective potential in terms of elliptic functions to have a complete numerical control of the model. We study in detail the possible phases of the theories with Nf=1,2 flavors for different values of the bare quark masses and the supersymmetry breaking parameters and we find a rich structure of first order phase transitions. The chiral symmetry breaking pattern of the Nf=2 theory is considered, and we obtain the pion Lagrangian for this model up to two derivatives. Exact expressions are given for the pion mass and Fπ in terms of the magnetic monopole description of chiral symmetry breaking.
