Duality of Sp(2Nc) and SO(Nc) Supersymmetric Gauge Theories with Adjoint Matter

چکیده

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 SU(Nc) and of Intriligator on other models involving Sp(2Nc) and SO(Nc).

Supersymmetric Gauge Theories with Classical Groups via M Theory Fivebrane

We study the moduli space of vacua of four dimensional N = 1 and N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories with the gauge groups Sp(2Nc), SO(2Nc) and SO(2Nc + 1) using the M theory fivebrane. Higgs branches of the N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories are interpreted in terms of the M theory fivebrane and the type IIA s-rule is realized in it. In particular we construct the fivebrane configuration whic...

New 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...

Dynamics of Supersymmetric SU(nc) and USp(2nc) Gauge Theories

We study dynamical flavor symmetry breaking in the context of a class of N = 1 supersymmetric SU(nc) and USp(2nc) gauge theories, constructed from the exactly solvable N = 2 theories by perturbing them with small adjoint and generic bare hypermultiplet (quark) masses. We find that the flavor U(nf ) symmetry in SU(nc) theories is dynamically broken to U(r) × U(nf − r) groups for nf ≤ nc. In the ...

Dynamical Symmetry Breaking in Supersymmetric SU(nc) and USp(2nc) Gauge Theories

We find the phase and flavor symmetry breaking pattern of each N = 1 supersymmetric vacuum of SU(nc) and USp(2nc) gauge theories, constructed from the exactly solvable N = 2 theories by perturbing them with small adjoint and generic bare hypermultiplet (quark) masses. In SU(nc) theories with nf ≤ nc the vacua are labelled by an integer r, in which the flavor U(nf ) symmetry is dynamically broke...

Symplectic SUSY gauge theories with antisymmetric matter.

We investigate the confining phase vacua of supersymmetric Sp(2NC) gauge theories that contain matter in both fundamental and antisymmetric representations. The moduli spaces of such models with NF = 3 quark flavors and NA = 1 antisymmetric field are analogous to that of SUSY QCD with NF = NC + 1 flavors. In particular, the forms of their quantum superpotentials are fixed by classical constrain...
