Superpotentials in M - theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the effective action for weak G2 compactifications of M-theory. The presence of fluxes acts as a source for the the axions and drives the Freund-Rubin parameter to zero. The result is a stable non-supersymmetric vacuum with a negative cosmological constant. We also give the superpotential which generates the effective potential and discuss a simple model which aims to incorporate the effects of supersymmetry breaking by the gauge sector.

Superpotentials of N = 1 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories from M - theory
We consider brane configurations in M-theory describing N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories. Using the parametric representation of the brane configurations, we calculate the superpotentials for various cases including multiple gauge groups or fermions. For SU(n) N = 1 SQCD with Nf fermion case (Nf < Nc), we find that the superpotential from M-theory and the gauge theory agree precisly. This gi...

We consider brane configurations in M-theory describing N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories and using the parametric representation of the brane configurations, we calculate the superpotentials for various cases including multiple gauge groups or fermions. For SU(n) N = 1 SQCD with Nf fermion case (Nf < Nc), we find that the superpotential from M-theory and the gauge theory agree precisely. Thi...
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 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 کاملMassless Monopoles Via Confining Phase Superpotentials
We discuss how the structure of massless monopoles in supersymmetric theories with a Coulomb phase can be obtained from effective superpotentials for a phase with a confined photon. To illustrate the technique, we derive effective superpotentials which can be used to derive the curves which describe the Coulomb phase of N = 2, SU (N c) gauge theory with N f < N c flavors.

We study the decompactification limit of M-theory superpotentials for N = 1 four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories. These superpotentials can be interpreted as generated by toron configurations. The connection with the confinement picture in the maximal abelian gauge is discussed. Polyakov's compact electrodynamics in three dimensions [1] constitutes a pardigmatic model for electric con...
