More on N = 1 Self - Dualities and Exceptional Gauge Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
Starting from a generalization of a recent result on self-duality [15] we systematically analyze self-dual models. We find a criterion to judge whether a given model is self-dual or not. With this tool we construct some new self-dual pairs, focussing on examples with exceptional gauge groups. ∗Work supported by DFG

Dualities for Exceptional Gauge Groups and Quantum Global Symmetries
We discuss our attempts to generalize the known examples of dualities in N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories to exceptional gauge groups. We derive some dual pairs from known examples connected to exceptional groups and find an interesting phenomenon: sometimes the full global symmetry is “hidden” on the magnetic side. It is not realized as a symmetry on the fundamental fields in the Lagrangian...
متن کاملExceptional Collections and del Pezzo Gauge Theories
Stacks of D3-branes placed at the tip of a cone over a del Pezzo surface provide a way of geometrically engineering a small but rich class of gauge/gravity dualities. We develop tools for understanding the resulting quiver gauge theories using exceptional collections. We prove two important results for a general quiver gauge theory: 1) we show the ordering of the nodes can be determined up to c...
متن کاملNon-Abelian Conifold Transitions and N = 4 Dualities in Three Dimensions
We show how Higgs mechanism for non-abelian N = 2 gauge theories in four dimensions is geometrically realized in the context of type II strings as transitions among compactifications of Calabi-Yau threefolds. We use this result and T-duality of a further compacitification on a circle to derive N = 4, d = 3 dual field theories. This reduces dualities for N = 4 gauge systems in three dimensions t...
متن کاملType Iia Superstrings, Chiral Symmetry, and N = 1 4d Gauge Theory Dualities
We study N = 1 four dimensional gauge theories as the world volume theory of D4-branes between NS 5-branes. We find constructions for a number of known field theory dualities involving SU (N c) × SU (N ′ c) groups, coupled by matter fields F in the (N c , ¯ N c) representation, in terms of branes of type IIA string theory. The dual gauge group follows from simply reversing the ordering of the N...
متن کاملModuli in Exceptional SUSY Gauge Theories
The low energy structures of N = 1 supersymmetric models with E6, F4 and E7 gauge groups and fundamental irrep matter contents are studied herein. We identify sets of gauge invariant composites which label all flat directions in the confining/Higgs phases of these theories. The impossibility of mapping several of these primary operators rules out previously conjectured exceptional self duals re...
