Singularities of N = 1 Supersymmetric Gauge Theory and Matrix Models
In N = 1 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory with adjoint matter Φ and polynomial tree-level superpotential W (Φ), the massless fluctuations about each quantum vacuum are generically described by U(1) gauge theory for some n. However, by tuning the parameters of W (Φ) to non-generic values, we can reach singular vacua where additional fields become massless. Using both the matrix model prescriptio...
متن کاملNew Confining N = 1 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories ∗
We examine N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories which confine in the presence of a tree-level superpotential. We show the confining spectra which satisfy the ’t Hooft anomaly matching conditions and give a simple method to find the confining superpotential. Using this method we fix the confining superpotentials in the simplest cases, and show how these superpotentials are generated by multi-inst...
متن کاملBranched Matrix Models and the Scales of Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
i Si = 0, we are forced to introduce additional terms in the free energy of the corresponding matrix model with respect to the usual formulation. This leads to a matrix model formulation with a cubic potential which is free of parameters and displays a branched structure. In this way we naturally solve the usual problem of the identification between dimensionful and dimensionless quantities. Fu...
متن کاملMatrix Models, Topological Strings, and Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
We show that B-model topological strings on local Calabi-Yau threefolds are large N duals of matrix models, which in the planar limit naturally give rise to special geometry. These matrix models directly compute F-terms in an associated N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory, obtained by deforming N = 2 theories by a superpotential term that can be directly identified with the potential of the matri...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Supersymmetric Gauge Theories and Matrix Models
We give an introduction to the recently established connection between supersymmetric gauge theories and matrix models. We begin by reviewing previous material that is required in order to follow the latest developments. This includes the superfield formulation of gauge theories, holomorphy, the chiral ring, the Konishi anomaly and the large N limit. We then present both the diagrammatic proof ...
