Abstract

We derive general low energy dynamics of monopoles and dyons in N=2 and N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories by utilizing a collective coordinate expansion. The resulting new kind of supersymmetric quantum mechanics incorporates the effects of multiple Higgs fields, both in the N=2 vector multiplet and hypermultiplets, having non-vanishing expectation values.
