Some Comments on S-duality in Four Dimensional Qcd
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that a necessary condition, for the partition function of four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory to satisfy a S-duality property, is that certain functional determinants, generated by the dual change of variables, cancel each other. This result holds up to non-topological boundary terms in the dual action and modulo the problem of gauge copies for the Bianchi identity constraint.

Rotated Branes and N = 1 Duality
We consider configurations of rotated N S-branes leading to a family of four-dimensional N = 1 super-QCD theories, interpolating between four-dimensional analogues of the Hanany-Witten vacua, and the Elitzur-Giveon-Kutasov configuration for N = 1 duality. The rotation angle is the N = 2 breaking parameter, the mass of the adjoint scalar in the N = 2 vector multiplet. We add some comments on the...
متن کاملHow quark hadron duality in QCD may work
We pursue the issue of the local quark-hadron duality at high energies in twoand four-dimensional QCD. A mechanism of the dynamical realization of the quark-hadron duality in two-dimensional QCD in the limit of large number of colors, Nc → ∞, (the ’ t Hooft model) is investigated. We argue that a similar mechanism of dynamical smearing may be relevant in four-dimensional QCD. Although particula...
متن کاملNew Superconformal Field Theories in Four Dimensions and N = 1 Duality
Recently, developments in the understanding of low-energy N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory have revealed two important phenomena: the appearance of new four-dimensional superconformal field theories and a non-Abelian generalization of electric-magnetic duality at the IR fixed point. This report is a pedagogical introduction to these phenomena. After presenting some necessary background materia...

متن کاملS-duality in N=2 QCD and Non-Abelian Duality in N=1 QCD with M-theory
With help of brane configuration of N=2 solution, we analyze the strong coupling moduli of N=2 QCD. As a result we describe S-dual in N=2 QCD and give its curve. We also explain some relation to nonAbelian duality in N=1 QCD.
