چکیده
We present calculations of the leading and O(1/N f) terms in a large-N f expansion of the β-functions and anomalous dimensions for various supersymmetric gauge theories, including supersymmetric QCD. In the case of supersymmetric QCD, we show that our O(1/N f) approximation displays an infra-red fixed point in the conformal window 3 2

Large - N supersymmetric β - functions
We present calculations of the leading and O(1/N) terms in a large-N expansion of the β-functions for various supersymmetric theories: a Wess-Zumino model, supersymmetric QED and a non-abelian supersymmetric gauge theory. In all cases N is the number of a class of the chiral superfields in the theory.
متن کاملGauge Theories from Orientifolds and Large N Limit
Extending the recent work in [1], we consider string perturbative expansion in the presence of D-branes and orientifold planes imbedded in orbifolded space-time. In the α → 0 limit the weak coupling string perturbative expansion maps to ‘t Hooft’s large N expansion. We focus on four dimensional N = 1, 2, 4 supersymmetric theories, and also discuss possible extensions to N = 0 cases. Utilizing t...
متن کاملβ Functions of Orbifold Theories and the Hierarchy Problem
We examine a class of gauge theories obtained by projecting out certain fields from an N = 4 supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theory. These theories are non-supersymmetric and in the large N limit are known to be conformal. Recently it was proposed that the hierarchy problem could be solved by embedding the standard model in a theory of this kind with finite N . In order to check this claim one must ...

A general criterion is given for the vanishing of the β-functions in N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories.
متن کاملHolomorphy , Rescaling Anomalies and Exact β Functions in Supersymmetric Gauge
There have long been known “exact” β functions for the gauge coupling in N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories, the so-called Novikov-Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov (NSVZ) β functions. Shifman and Vainshtein further related these β functions to the exact 1-loop running of the gauge coupling in a “Wilsonian” action. All these results, however, remain somewhat mysterious. We attempt to clarify these i...
