One-instanton test of the exact prepotential for N=2 SQCD coupled to a symmetric tensor hypermultiplet

Using the ADHM instanton calculus, we evaluate the one-instanton contribution to the low-energy effective prepotential of N=2 supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory with NF flavors of hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation and a hypermultiplet in the symmetric rank two tensor representation. For NF
