New “gauge” Theories in Six Dimensions
More general constructions are given of six-dimensional theories that look at low energy like six-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory. The constructions start with either parallel fivebranes in Type IIB, or M -theory on (C × S)/Γ for Γ a suitable finite group. Via these constructions, one can obtain six-dimensional theories with any simple gauge group, and SU(r) theories with any rational theta...
متن کاملEinstein spaces in five and seven dimensions and non-supersymmetric gauge theories
A one-parameter family of new solutions representing Einstein spaces in d = 5, 7 is presented, and used to construct non-supersymmetric backgrounds in type IIB and M-theory that asymptotically approach AdS5 × S and AdS7 × S. Upon dimensional reduction, the latter gives a type IIA solution representing a 4-brane with Ramond-Ramond charge, which interpolates between the “near-horizon” non-extrema...
متن کاملScreening in Supersymmetric Gauge Theories in Two Dimensions
We show that the string tension in N = 1 two-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory vanishes independently of the representation of the quark anti-quark external source. We argue that this result persists in SQCD2 and in two-dimensional gauge theories with extended supersymmetry or in chiral invariant models with at least one massless dynamical fermion. We also compute the string tension for the m...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Gauge Theories from Branes and Orientifold Six-planes
We study brane configurations in the presence of orientifold six-planes. After deriving the curves for N = 2 supersymmetric SU(Nc) gauge theories with one flavor in the symmetric or antisymmetric representation and Nf fundamental flavors, we rotate the brane configuration, reducing the supersymmetry to N = 1. For the case of an antisymmetric flavor and less than two fundamental flavors, nonpert...
متن کاملThe Geometry of Supersymmetric Gauge Theories in Four Dimensions
We review the relations between (twisted) supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions and moduli problems in four-dimensional topology, and we study in detail the non-abelian monopole equations from this point of view. The relevance of exact results in N = 1 and N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories to the computation of topological invariants is emphasized. Some background material is provi...
