Supersymmetric gauge theories in 3 and 4 dimensions have no mathematically rigorous foundation. Coulomb branches of gauge theories originally defined via low energy effective theories by non-rigorous physical argument in 90s. I will explain how I interpret this original argument and make a mathematically rigorous definition of Coulomb branches in my joint work with Braverman and Finkelberg.
