Abstract
So far we only considered the branch of the moduli space of the supersymmetric vacua where the scalar \(\Phi \) in the vector multiplet is nonzero, and all the hypermultiplets are zero. Instead let us consider a branch where \(\Phi = 0\), but the hypermultiplet scalars are nonzero. This branch is called the Higgs branch.
