Relation between S-duality in N=2 SQCD and Non-Abelian Duality in N=1 SQCD

چکیده
With the help of M-theory configuration of N=1 supersymmetric QCD, we analyze the strong coupling moduli of N=1 theory and its relation with S-duality transformation in N=2 supersymmetric QCD. As a result we confirm that two type-IIA descriptions for N=1 supersymmetric QCD, one of them being strong coupling description and another being weak, correspond to a single M-theory description for N=1 supersymmetric QCD. The existence of singlet fields is also discussed.

Messages for QCD from the Superworld∗)
Recent discoveries in supersymmetric gauge theories have significant implications for our understanding for QCD and of field theory in general. The phases of N = 1 supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) are discussed, and the possibility of similar phases in non-supersymmetric QCD is emphasized. It is described how duality in SQCD links many previously known duality transformations that were thought to be d...

متن کاملConfinement in N = 1 SQCD : One Step Beyond Seiberg ’ s Duality
We consider N = 1 supersymmetric quantum chromodynamics (SQCD) with the gauge group U(N c) and N c + N quark flavors. N c flavors are mass-less; the corresponding squark fields develop (small) vacuum expectation values (VEVs) on the Higgs branch. Extra N flavors are endowed with small (and equal) mass terms. We study this theory through its Seiberg's dual: U(N) gauge theory with N c + N flavors...

The dynamical scenario is considered for N = 1 SQCD, with Nc colors and Nc < NF < 3Nc flavors with small but nonzero current quark masses mQ 6= 0, in which it is in the diquark-condensate phase, where the colorless chiral quark pairs condense coherently in the vacuum, 〈QQ〉 6 = 0, while quarks alone don’t condense, 〈Q〉 = 〈Q〉 = 0, so that the color is confined. This condensation of diquarks resul...
متن کاملSQCD Vacua and Geometrical Engineering
We consider the geometrical engineering constructions for the N = 1 SQCD vacua recently proposed by Giveon and Kutasov. After one T-duality, the geometries with wrapped D5 branes become N = 1 brane configurations with NS branes and D4 branes. The field theories encoded by the geometries contain extra massive adjoint fields for the flavor group. After performing a flop, the geometries contain br...
