Duality of N = 1 Supersymmetric SO ( 10 ) Gauge Theory with Matter in the Spinorial Representation
نویسنده
چکیده
We study N = 1 supersymmetric SO(10) gauge theory with a field in the spinorial representaition and Nf (≤ 8) fields in the defining representation. It is shown that this theory for Nf = 7, 8 has a dual description, which is N = 1 supersymmetric SU(Nf − 5) gauge theory. Its matter content for Nf = 7 is different from the one for Nf = 8; for Nf = 7, it contains 8 fields in the anti-fundamental representation. For Nf = 8, a rank-2 symmetric tensor and one field in the fundamental representation appears in addition to them. This duality connects along the flat direction to the duality between chiral and vector gauge theory found by Pouliot.

Duality and Superconvergence Relation in Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
We investigate the phase structures of various N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories including even the exceptional gauge group from the viewpoint of superconvergence of the gauge field propagator. Especially we analyze in detail whether a new type of duality recently discovered by Oehme in SU(Nc) gauge theory coupled to fundamental matter fields can be found in more general gauge theories with m...
متن کاملDuality, Phases, Spinors and Monopoles in SO(N) and Spin(N) Gauge Theories
Four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric Spin(N) gauge theories with matter in the vector and spinor representations are considered. Dual descriptions are known for some of these theories. It is noted that when masses are given to all fields in the spinor representation, the dual gauge group G breaks to a group H such that π2(G/H) = Z2. The quantum numbers of the associated Z2 monopole and those of ...
متن کاملDuality in SUSY SU(N) with an Antisymmetric Tensor
We present a dual description for SU (N) supersymmetric gauge theory with an anti-symmetric tensor and fundamentals, and no superpotential. This duality is derived from the dualities of Seiberg. Under a perturbation of the superpotential, the dual theory breaks supersymmetry at tree level. 10/95 One year ago, a remarkable feature of gauge field theories was discovered [1]. Certain N =1 supersym...
متن کاملDuality of Sp(2Nc) and SO(Nc) Supersymmetric Gauge Theories with Adjoint Matter
We discuss electric-magnetic duality in two new classes of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories. The models have gauge group Sp(2Nc) or SO(Nc) with matter in both the adjoint and defining representations. By perturbing these theories with various superpotentials, we find a variety of new infrared fixed points with dual descriptions. This work is complementary to that of Kutasov and Schwimmer on S...
متن کاملOn Phases of Gauge Theories and the Role of Non-bps Solitons in Field Theory
As shown in hep-th/9709081, non-BPS saturated solitons play an important role in the duality transformations ofN = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories. In particular, a massive spinor in an SO(N) gauge theory with massless matter in the vector representation appears in the dual description as a magnetic monopole with a Z2 charge. This claim is supported by numerous tests, including detailed matchin...
