Non-supersymmetric deformations of the dual of a confining gauge theory

چکیده
We introduce a computational technique for studying non-supersymmetric deformations of domain wall solutions of interest in AdS/CFT. We focus on the KlebanovStrassler solution, which is dual to a confining gauge theory. From an analysis of asymptotics we find that there are three deformations that leave the ten-dimensional supergravity solution regular and preserve the global bosonic symmetries of the supersymmetric solution. Also, we show that there are no regular near-extremal deformations preserving the global symmetries, as one might expect from the existence of a gap in the gauge theory.

Confining N=1 SUSY gauge theories from Seiberg duality
In this talk I review and generalize an idea of Seiberg that an N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory shows confinement without breaking of chiral symmetry when the gauge symmetry of its magnetic dual is completely broken by the Higgs effect. It is shown how the confining spectrum of a supersymmetric gauge theory can easily be derived when a magnetic dual is known and this method is applied to many...
متن کاملGeometric Transitions and D-term SUSY Breaking
We propose a new way of using geometric transitions to study metastable vacua in string theory and certain confining gauge theories. The gauge theories in question are N = 2 supersymmetric theories deformed to N = 1 by superpotential terms. We first geometrically engineer supersymmetry-breaking vacua by wrapping D5 branes on rigid 2-cycles in noncompact Calabi-Yau geometries, such that the cent...
متن کاملMessages for QCD from the Superworld∗)
Recent discoveries in supersymmetric gauge theories have significant implications for our understanding for QCD and of field theory in general. The phases of N = 1 supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) are discussed, and the possibility of similar phases in non-supersymmetric QCD is emphasized. It is described how duality in SQCD links many previously known duality transformations that were thought to be d...
متن کاملNew Confining N = 1 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories ∗
We examine N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories which confine in the presence of a tree-level superpotential. We show the confining spectra which satisfy the ’t Hooft anomaly matching conditions and give a simple method to find the confining superpotential. Using this method we fix the confining superpotentials in the simplest cases, and show how these superpotentials are generated by multi-inst...
متن کاملExplicit Analysis of Kahler Deformations in 4D N=1 Supersymmetric Quiver Theories
Starting from the N = 2 SYM4 quiver theory living on wrapped NiD5 branes around S 2 i spheres of deformed ADE fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds (CY3) and considering deformations using massive vector multiplets, we explicitly build a new class of N = 1 quiver gauge theories. In these models, the quiver gauge group ∏ i U (Ni) is spontaneously broken down to ∏ i SU (Ni) and Kahler deformations are sh...
