N = 1 Gauge Theory with Flavor from Fluxes

چکیده
Cachazo and Vafa provided a proof of the equivalence of N = 1 dynamics obtained by deforming N = 2 SYM by addition of certain superpotential terms, with that of type IIB superstring on Calabi-Yau manifold with fluxes. We extend the proof to SYM with massive flavors in fundamental representation of gauge group. For the gauge group we consider U(N) and SO(N)/Sp(N) groups. When the adding tree level superpotential is square of adjoint chiral superfield we can derive AffleckDine-Seiberg potentials. By turning off the flux, we obtain Seiberg-Witten curves of N = 2 theories. ∗e-mail address : [email protected]

Accidental Symmetries and N=1 Duality in Supersymmetric Gauge Theory
We note that the accidental symmetries which are present in some examples of duality imply the existence of continuously infinite sets of theories with the same infrared behavior. These sets interpolate between theories of different flavors and colors; the change in color and flavor is compensated by interactions (often non-perturbative) induced by operators in the superpotential. As an example...
متن کاملS-duality in N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories
A solution to the infinite coupling problem for N = 2 conformal supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions is presented. The infinitely-coupled theories are argued to be interacting superconformal field theories (SCFTs) with weakly gauged flavor groups. Consistency checks of this proposal are found by examining some low-rank examples. As part of these checks, we show how to compute new ex...
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 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 کاملN = 1 and N = 2 Geometry from Fluxes
We provide a proof of the equivalence of N = 1 dynamics obtained by deforming N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories by addition of certain superpotential terms, with that of type IIB superstring on Calabi-Yau threefold geometries with fluxes. In particular we show that minimization of the superpotential involving gaugino fields is equivalent to finding loci where Seiberg-Witten curve has certain ...
