Deriving N=2 S-dualities from Scaling for Product Gauge Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
S-dualities in scale invariant N = 2 supersymmetric field theories with product gauge groups are derived by embedding those theories in asymptotically free theories with higher rank gauge groups. S-duality transformations on the couplings of the scale invariant theory follow from the geometry of the embedding of the scale invariant theory in the Coulomb branch of the asymptotically free theory.

New S - Dualities in N = 2 Supersymmetric SU ( 2 ) x SU ( 2 ) Gauge Theory
New S-dualities in a scale invariant N = 2 gauge theory with SU(2) × SU(2) gauge group are derived from embeddings of the theory in two different larger asymptotically free theories. The true coupling space of the scale invariant theory is a 20-fold identification of the coupling space found in the Mand string-theory derivations of the low energy effective action, implying a larger S-duality gr...
متن کاملDualities in 4D Theories with Product Gauge Groups from Brane Configurations
We study brane configurations which correspond to N=1 field theories in four dimensions. By inverting the order of the NS 5branes and D6-branes, a check on dualities in four dimensional theories can be made. We consider a brane configuration which yields electric/magnetic duality for gauge theories with SO(Nc1)× Sp(Nc2) product gauge group. We also discuss the possible extension to any alternat...
متن کاملS-Duality and Global Symmetries in N=2 Supersymmetric Field Theory
S-dualities in scale invariant N = 2 supersymmetric field theories are derived by embedding those theories in asymptotically free N = 2 theories with higher rank gauge groups. Sduality transformations on the coupling of the scale invariant theory follow from global symmetries acting on the Coulomb branch of the higher rank theory. Since these global symmetries are exact in the asymptotically fr...
متن کاملSix-dimensional DN theory and four-dimensional SO–USp quivers
We realize four-dimensional N = 2 superconformal quiver gauge theories with alternating SO and USp gauge groups as compactifications of the six-dimensional DN theory with defects. The construction can be used to analyze infinitely stronglycoupled limits and S-dualities of such gauge theories, resulting in a new class of isolated four-dimensional N = 2 superconformal field theories with SO(2N) f...
متن کاملMulti-Matrix Models and Tri-Sasaki Einstein Spaces
Localization methods reduce the path integrals in N ≥ 2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons gauge theories on S to multi-matrix integrals. A recent evaluation of such a two-matrix integral for the N = 6 superconformal U(N) × U(N) ABJM theory produced detailed agreement with the AdS/CFT correspondence, explaining in particular the N scaling of the free energy. We study a class of p-matrix integrals desc...
