چکیده

We consider four dimensional quantum field theories which have a continuous manifold of inequivalent exact ground states – a moduli space of vacua. Classically, the singular points on the moduli space are associated with extra massless particles. Quantum mechanically these singularities can be smoothed out. Alternatively, new massless states appear there. These may be the elementary massless particles or new massless bound states.

Integrable Models, Susy Gauge Theories and String Theory

We consider the close relation between duality in N = 2 SUSY gauge theories and integrable models. Various integrable models ranging from Toda lattices, Calogero models, spinning tops, and spin chains are related to the quantum moduli space of vacua of N = 2 SUSY gauge theories. In particular, SU(3) gauge theories with two flavors of massless quarks in the fundamental representation can be rela...

Vacuum Structure and Spectrum of N=2 Supersymmetric SU(n) Gauge Theory.

We present an exact description of the metric on the moduli space of vacua and the spectrum of massive states for four dimensional N = 2 supersymmetric SU(n) gauge theories. The moduli space of quantum vacua is identified with the moduli space of a special set of genus n − 1 hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces. 11.15.-q, 11.30.Pb Typeset using REVTEX

Moduli Stabilization in Meta-Stable Heterotic Supergravity Vacua

We revisit the issue of moduli stabilization in a class of N = 1 four dimensional supergravity theories which are low energy descriptions of standard perturbative heterotic string vacua compactified on Calabi–Yau spaces. In particular, we show how it is possible to stabilize the universal dilaton and Kähler moduli in a de Sitter/Minkowski vacuum with low energy supersymmetry breaking by means o...

Monopole Condensation and Confining Phase of N = 1 Gauge Theories Via M Theory

The fivebrane of M theory is used in order to study the moduli space of vacua of confining phase N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions. The supersymmetric vacua correspond to the condensation of massless monopoles and confinement of photons. The monopole and meson vacuum expectation values are computed using the fivebrane configuration. The comparison of the fivebrane computati...
