On Properties of N = 1 Susy Yang - Mills Vacuums and Domain Walls
It is shown that there is no chirally symmetric vacuum state in the N = 1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. The values of the gluino condensate and the vacuum energy density are found out through a direct instanton calculation. A qualitative picture of domain wall properties is presented, and a new explanation of the phenomenon of strings ending on the wall is proposed. 1. The N = 1 supersymmet...
متن کاملDomain Wall Junctions are 1/4-BPS States
We study N = 1 SUSY theories in four dimensions with multiple discrete vacua, which admit solitonic solutions describing segments of domain walls meeting at one-dimensional junctions. We show that there exist solutions preserving one quarter of the underlying supersymmetry – a single Hermitian supercharge. We derive a BPS bound for the masses of these solutions and construct a solution explicit...

متن کاملSoftly - Broken N = 4 Supersymmetry in the Large - N Limit
We calculate the exact values of the holomorphic observables of N = 4 supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory deformed by mass terms which preserve N = 1 SUSY. These include the chiral condensates in each massive vacuum of the theory as well as the central charge which determines the tension of BPS saturated domain walls interpolating between these vacua. Several unexpected features emerge in th...

In the context of M-theory, Witten has argued that an intriguing phenomenon occurs, namely that QCD strings can end on domain walls. We present a simpler explanation of this effect using effective field theory to describe the behavior of the Polyakov loop and the gluino condensate in N = 1 supersymmetric QCD. We describe how domain walls separating distinct confined phases appear in this effect...
