Abstract

The Picard-Fuchs equations for N=2 supersymmetric SU(N_c) Yang-Mills theories with massless hypermultiplets are obtained for N_c=2 and 3. For SU(2) we derive the non-linear differential equations for the prepotentials and calculate full non-perturbative corrections to the effective gauge coupling constant in the weak and strong coupling regions.
