Microscopic Pictures of Dynamical Symmetry Breaking in Supersymmetric SU(nc), USp(2nc) and SO(nc) Theories
Several distinct mechanisms of confinement and dynamical symmetry breaking (DSB) are identified, in a class of supersymmetric SU(nc), USp(2nc) and SO(nc) gauge theories. In some of the vacua, the magnetic monopoles carrying nontrivial flavor quantum numbers condense, causing confinement and symmetry breaking simultaneously. In more general classes of vacua, however, the effective low-energy deg...
متن کاملDynamical 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...
متن کاملDynamics 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 ...
متن کاملSupersymmetrizing 5d instanton operators
We construct a supersymmetric version of instanton operators in fivedimensional Yang-Mills theories. This is possible by considering a five-dimensional generalization of the familiar four-dimensional topologically twisted theory, where the gauge configurations corresponding to instanton operators are supersymmetric.
متن کاملGauge symmetry breaking through soft masses in supersymmetric gauge theories.
Effects of soft breaking terms in N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories are studied. For Nf < Nc, we include the dynamics of the non-perturbative superpotential and use the original (s)quark and gauge fields. For Nf > Nc+1, we formulate the dynamics in terms of dual (s)quarks and a dual gauge group SU(Nf − Nc). The mass squared of squarks can be negative triggering the spontaneous breakdown of fl...
