Duality, Phases, Spinors and Monopoles in SO(N) and Spin(N) Gauge Theories
Four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric Spin(N) gauge theories with matter in the vector and spinor representations are considered. Dual descriptions are known for some of these theories. It is noted that when masses are given to all fields in the spinor representation, the dual gauge group G breaks to a group H such that π2(G/H) = Z2. The quantum numbers of the associated Z2 monopole and those of ...
متن کاملGauge Spinors and String Duality
When the gauge groups of the two heterotic string theories are broken, over tori, to their “SO(16) × SO(16)” subgroups, the winding modes correspond to representations which are spinorial with respect to those subgroups. Globally, the two subgroups are isomorphic neither to SO(16)× SO(16) nor to each other. Any attempt to formulate the T-duality of the two theories on topologically non-trivial ...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Gauge Theories and Monopoles
The coulomb branch of N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills gauge theories in d = 2 + 1 is studied. A direct connection between gauge theories and monopole moduli spaces is presented. It is proposed that the hyper-Kähler metric of supersymmetric N = 4 SU(N) Yang-Mills theory is given by the charge N centered moduli space of BPS monopoles in SU(2). The theory is compared to N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-M...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Gauge Theories and ADE Monopoles
We study three-dimensional N = 4 gauge theories with product gauge groups constructed from ADE Dynkin diagrams. One-loop corrections to the metric on the Coulomb branch are shown to coincide with the metric on the moduli space of wellseperated ADE monopoles. We propose that this correspondence is exact. Introduction There exists a correspondence between three-dimensional gauge theories and mono...
متن کاملDuality in Integrable Systems and Gauge Theories
We discuss various dualities, relating integrable systems and show that these dualities are explained in the framework of Hamiltonian and Poisson reductions. The dualities we study shed some light on the known integrable systems as well as allow to construct new ones, double elliptic among them. We also discuss applications to the (supersymmetric) gauge theories in various dimensions.
