Effective Gauge degrees of freedom and the (non)existence of the glueball superpotential

Description

We propose an efficient way to obtain a correct Veneziano-Yankielowicz type integration constant of the effective glueball superpotential Weff(S,g,Λ), even for massless theories. Applying our method, we show some N = 1 theories do not have such an effective glueball superpotential, even though they have isolated vacua. In these cases, S = 0 typically. (author)
