2 00 5 Phases of N = 1 theories and factorization of Seiberg - Witten curves ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
In this talk I review the structure of vacua of N = 2 theories broken down to N = 1 and it’s link with factorization of SeibergWitten curves. After an introduction to the structure of vacua in various supersymmetric gauge theories, I discuss the use of the exact factorization solution to identify different dual descriptions of the same physics and to count the number of connected domains in the space of N = 1 vacua.

N 1 ) × U ( N 2 ) factorization of Seiberg - Witten curves and N = 1 vacua
N = 2 gauge theories broken down to N = 1 by a tree level superpotential are necessarily at the points in the moduli space where the Seiberg-Witten curve factorizes. We find exact solution to the factorization problem of Seiberg-Witten curves associated with the breaking of the U(Nc) gauge group down to two factors U(N1) × U(N2). The result is a function of three discrete parameters and two con...

In this talk I describe some applications of random matrix models to the study of N = 1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with matter fields in the fundamental representation. I review the derivation of the Veneziano-Yankielowicz-Taylor/Affleck-Dine-Seiberg superpotentials from constrained random matrix models (hep-th/0211082), a field theoretical justification of the logarithmicmatter contrib...
متن کاملFactorization of Seiberg-Witten Curves with Fundamental Matter
We present an explicit construction of the factorization of Seiberg-Witten curves for N = 2 theory with fundamental flavors. We first rederive the exact results for the case of complete factorization, and subsequently derive new results for the case with breaking of gauge symmetry U(Nc) → U(N1)×U(N2). We also show that integrality of periods is necessary and sufficient for factorization in the ...

Linear recursion relations for the instanton corrections to the effective prepotential are derived for N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories with one hypermultiplet in the adjoint representation of SU(N) using the Calogero-Moser parameterization of the Seiberg-Witten spectral curves. S-duality properties of the Calogero-Moser parameterization and conjectures on the Seiberg-Witten spectral curves ge...
