For , antisymmetry makes the would-be baryons vanish, and the only generator of the chiral ring of a supersymmetric gauge theory is the meson operator in supersymmetric quantum chromodynamics . It obeys no classical constraint. Holomorphy, mass dimension and all three U(1) charges uniquely permit the Affleck–Dine–Seiberg superpotential
up to a nonzero constant absorbed into . Since never vanishes at finite , there is no finite supersymmetric ground state. Instead the potential approaches zero as : the theory has a supersymmetric runaway vacuum at infinity.
