Sp(N) higher-derivative F-terms via singular superpotentials
نویسندگان
چکیده
We generalize the higher-derivative F -terms introduced by Beasley and Witten [1] for SU(2) superQCD to Sp(nc) gauge theories with fundamental matter. We generate these terms by integrating out massive modes at tree level from an effective superpotential on the chiral ring of the microscopic theory. Though this superpotential is singular, its singularities are mild enough to permit the unambiguous identification of its minima, and gives sensible answers upon integrating out massive modes near any given minimum.

On singular effective superpotentials in supersymmetric gauge theories
We study N = 1 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory in four dimensions with a large number of massless quarks. We argue that effective superpotentials as a function of local gauge-invariant chiral fields should exist for these theories. We show that although the superpotentials are singular, they nevertheless correctly describe the moduli space of vacua, are consistent under RG flow to fewer flavo...
متن کاملComments on Effective Superpotentials via Matrix Models
Dijkgraaf and Vafa have conjectured that the effective superpotentials for N = 1 four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories can be given by the planar diagrams of matrix models. We examine some special models with cubic and quartic tree level superpotentials for adjoint chiral superfield Φ. We consider the effective superpotentials for the classical vacuum Φ = 0 for U(N) and SO(N)/Sp(N) gau...
متن کاملConfining Phase Superpotentials for SO/Sp Gauge Theories via Geometric Transition
We examine a large N duality via geometric transition for N = 1 SO/Sp gauge theories with superpotential for adjoint chiral superfield. In this paper, we find that the large N gauge theories are exactly analyzed for the classical quartic superpotentials by the finite rank SO/Sp gauge theories. With this classical superpotentials, we evaluate the confining phase superpotentials using the Seiberg...
متن کاملMatrix model superpotentials and ADE singularities
We use F. Ferrari’s methods relating matrix models to Calabi-Yau spaces in order to explain much of Intriligator and Wecht’s ADE classification of N = 1 superconformal theories which arise as RG fixed points of N = 1 SQCD theories with adjoints. We find that ADE superpotentials in the Intriligator–Wecht classification exactly match matrix model superpotentials obtained from Calabi-Yaus with cor...
متن کاملM and F-theory Instantons, N = 1 Supersymmetry and Fractional Topological Charge
We analize instanton generated superpotentials for three dimensional N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories obtained by compactifying on S1 N=1 four dimensinal theories. In the Nf = NC − 1 case, we find that the vacua in the decompactification limit is given by the singular points of the Coulomb branch of the N =2 four dimensional theory. The decompactification limit of the superpotential for pure g...
