For and distinct masses, any nonzero charged field can occur only at one . At such a point, D-flatness gives , whereas F-flatness gives ; together they force both fields to vanish. Thus only the Coulomb branch remains,
of complex dimension one. The points are special because the corresponding charged multiplets become massless there.
