On effective superpotentials and Kutasov duality

چکیده
We derive the effective superpotential for an N = 1 SU(Nc) gauge theory with one massless adjoint field and Nf massless fundamental flavors and cubic tree-level superpotential for the adjoint field. This is a generalization of the Affleck-Dine-Seiberg superpotential to gauge theories with one massless adjoint matter field. Using Kutasov’s generalization of Seiberg duality, we then find the effective superpotential for a related theory with massive fundamental flavors.

Duality of Sp(2Nc) and SO(Nc) Supersymmetric Gauge Theories with Adjoint Matter
We discuss electric-magnetic duality in two new classes of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories. The models have gauge group Sp(2Nc) or SO(Nc) with matter in both the adjoint and defining representations. By perturbing these theories with various superpotentials, we find a variety of new infrared fixed points with dual descriptions. This work is complementary to that of Kutasov and Schwimmer on S...
متن کاملMatrix model , Kutasov duality and Factorization of Seiberg - Witten Curves ∗
We study the duality of N = 1 gauge theories in the presence of a massless adjoint field. We calculate the superpotential using the factorization method and compare with the result obtained by applying Kutasov duality. The latter result is just the leading term of the former, indicating that Kutasov duality is exact only in the IR limit as claimed in the original literature. We also study vario...
متن کاملA Comment on Duality in N=1 Supersymmetric Non-Abelian Gauge Theories
Recently N. Seiberg has shown that certain N = 1 supersymmetric Yang – Mills theories have the property that their infrared physics can be equivalently described by two different gauge theories, with the strong coupling region of one corresponding to the weak coupling region of the other. This duality leads to interesting results about the infrared dynamics of these theories. We generalize Seib...
متن کاملChiral Rings, Anomalies and Electric–Magnetic Duality
We study electric–magnetic duality in the chiral ring of a supersymmetric U(Nc) gauge theory with adjoint and fundamental matter, in presence of a general confining phase superpotential for the adjoint and the mesons. We find the magnetic solution corresponding to both the pseudoconfining and higgs electric vacua. By means of the Dijkgraaf–Vafa method, we match the effective glueball superpoten...
متن کاملConfining Phase Superpotentials for SO/Sp Gauge Theories via Geometric Transition
We examine a large N duality via geometric transition for N = 1 SO/Sp gauge theories with superpotential for adjoint chiral superfield. In this paper, we find that the large N gauge theories are exactly analyzed for the classical quartic superpotentials by the finite rank SO/Sp gauge theories. With this classical superpotentials, we evaluate the confining phase superpotentials using the Seiberg...
