Classification of Supersymmetric Lattice Gauge Theories by Orbifolding
نویسنده
چکیده
We provide a general classification of supersymmetric lattice gauge theories that can be obtained from orbifolding of theories with four and eight supercharges. We impose at least one preserved supercharge on the lattice and Lorentz invariance in the naive continuum limit. Starting with four supercharges, we obtain one two-dimensional lattice gauge theory, identical to the one already given in the literature. Starting with eight supercharges, we obtain a unique three-dimensional lattice gauge theory and infinitely many two-dimensional lattice theories. They can be classified according to seven distinct groups, five of which have two preserved supercharges while the others have only one.

Relations among Supersymmetric Lattice Gauge Theories via Orbifolding
We show how to derive Catterall’s supersymmetric lattice gauge theories directly from the general principle of orbifolding followed by a variant of the usual deconstruction. These theories are forced to be complexified due to a clash between charge assignments under U(1)-symmetries and lattice assignments in terms of scalar, vector and tensor components for the fermions. Other prescriptions for...

We examine the relation between supersymmetric lattice gauge theories constructed by the link approach and by orbifolding and show that they are equivalent. We discuss the number of preserved supersymmetries. [email protected] [email protected]
متن کاملGeometry of Orbifolded Supersymmetric Lattice Gauge Theories
We prove that the prescription for construction of supersymmetric lattice gauge theories by orbifolding and deconstruction directly leads to Catterall’s geometrical discretization scheme in general. These two prescriptions always give the same lattice discretizations when applied to theories of p-form fields. We also show that the geometrical discretization scheme can be applied to more general...
متن کاملGauge Theory Duals of Black Hole - Black String Transitions of Gravitational Theories on a Circle
We study the black hole black string phase transitions of gravitational theories compactified on a circle using the holographic duality conjecture. The gauge theory duals of these theories are maximally supersymmetric and strongly coupled 1 + 1 dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills theories compactified on a circle, in the large N limit. We perform the strongly coupled finite temperature gauge theory ca...
متن کاملNonperturbative Tests of the Parent/orbifold Correspondence in Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
It has been shown that a procedure analogous to orbifolding in string theory, when applied to certain large N field theories, leaves correlators invariant perturbatively. We test nonperturbative agreement of some aspects of the orbifolded and non-orbifolded theories. More specifically, we find that the period matrices of parent and orbifolded Seiberg-Witten theories are related, even away from ...
