Classification of the N = 1 Seiberg - Witten Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a systematic study of N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories which are in the Coulomb phase. We show how to find all such theories based on a simple gauge group and no tree-level superpotential. We find the low-energy solution for the new theories in terms of a hyperelliptic Seiberg-Witten curve. This work completes the study of all N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories where the Dynkin index of the matter fields equals the index of the adjoint (μ = G), and consequently all theories for which μ < G.

Dimensional Reduction of Seiberg-Witten Monopole Equations, N = 2 Noncommutative Supersymmetric Field Theories and Young Diagrams
We investigate the Seiberg-Witten monopole equations on noncommutative (N.C.) R 4 at the large N.C. parameter limit, in terms of the equivariant cohomology. In other words, N = 2 supersymmetric U(1) gauge theories with hypermultiplet on N.C.R4 are studied. It is known that after topological twisting partition functions of N > 1 supersymmetric theories on N.C. R2D are invariant under N.C.paramet...
متن کاملIntroduction to S - Duality in N = 2 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories ( A Pedagogical Review of the Work of Seiberg and Witten )
In these notes we attempt to give a pedagogical introduction to the work of Seiberg and Witten on S-duality and the exact results of N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories with and without matter. The first half is devoted to a review of monopoles in gauge theories and the construction of supersymmetric gauge theories. In the second half, we describe the work of Seiberg and Witten.

متن کاملGeometry and N = 2 Exceptional Gauge Theories
We find the Seiberg-Witten geometry for four dimensional N = 2 supersymmetric E6 gauge theories with massless fundamental hypermultiplets, by geometrically embedding them in type II string theories compactified on Calabi-Yau threefolds. The resulting geometry completely agrees with that of recent works, which are based on the technique of N = 1 confining phase superpotentials. We also derive th...
متن کاملSeiberg–Witten Curve for E-String Theory Revisited
We discuss various properties of the Seiberg–Witten curve for the E-string theory which we have obtained recently in hep-th/0203025. Seiberg–Witten curve for the Estring describes the low-energy dynamics of a six-dimensional (1, 0) SUSY theory when compactified on R × T 2. It has a manifest affine E8 global symmetry with modulus τ and E8 Wilson line parameters {mi}, i = 1, 2, . . . , 8 which ar...
متن کاملN 1 ) × U ( N 2 ) factorization of Seiberg - Witten curves and N = 1 vacua
N = 2 gauge theories broken down to N = 1 by a tree level superpotential are necessarily at the points in the moduli space where the Seiberg-Witten curve factorizes. We find exact solution to the factorization problem of Seiberg-Witten curves associated with the breaking of the U(Nc) gauge group down to two factors U(N1) × U(N2). The result is a function of three discrete parameters and two con...
