Abstract

In this paper we provide a manifestly N = 2 supersymmetric formulation of the M-fivebrane in the presence of threebrane solitons. The superspace form of four-dimensional effective equations for the threebranes are readily obtained and yield the complete Seiberg-Witten equations of motion for N = 2 super-Yang-Mills. A particularly simple derivation is given by introducing an N = 2 superfield generalisation of the Seiberg-Witten differential.
