New Confining N = 1 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories ∗

We examine N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories which confine in the presence of a tree-level superpotential. We show the confining spectra which satisfy the ’t Hooft anomaly matching conditions and give a simple method to find the confining superpotential. Using this method we fix the confining superpotentials in the simplest cases, and show how these superpotentials are generated by multi-inst...

of Results in N = 1 Supersymmetric SU ( 2 ) Gauge Theories

We summarize some results in 4d, N = 1 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theories: the exact effective superpotentials, the vacuum structure, and the exact effective Abelian couplings for arbitrary bare masses and Yukawa couplings.

Algebraic Renormalization of N = 1 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories

The complete renormalization procedure of a general N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory in the Wess-Zumino gauge is presented, using the regulator free “algebraic renormalization” procedure. Both gauge invariance and supersymmetry are included into one single BRS invariance. The form of the general nonabelian anomaly is given. Furthermore, it is explained how the gauge BRS and the supersymmetry f...

Duality of Chiral N = 1 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories via Branes

Using a six-orientifold on top of a NS-fivebrane we construct a chiral N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions with gauge group SU(Nc) and matter in the symmetric, antisymmetric and (anti)fundamental representations. Anomaly cancellation is fulfilled by the requirement of a smooth RR 7-form charge distribution and leads us to the introduction of 8 half D-sixbranes ending on the NS-...
