| Aug 27, 2013 at 13:11 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | @Colin --- more general non-polynomial superpotentials are considered in section 4. | |
| Aug 27, 2013 at 12:26 | comment | added | Colin McLarty | FLT comes into this via their specification of a specific superpotential $W$ which includes a term $\Phi_4[\Phi_1^p+\Phi_2^p+ (t\Phi_3)^p]$ (p.~3). Is there something in the theory that constrains them to that, or do they simply have the freedom to pick a superpotential that will relate to FLT this way? | |
