Abstract
The purpose of this talk is to show, in a simple way, how the Seiberg- Witten superpotential for N = 2 supersymmetry can be obtained by using symmetry principles. In fact, the superpotential is determined by a c ombination of supersymmetry, SU(2) gauge invariance, and the subgroups of SL(2, Z) associated with Fuchsian functions. Electromagnetic duali ty is obtained as a consequence rather than an input.
