Exact superpotentials in four dimensions.

چکیده
Supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions can display interesting non-perturbative phenomena. Although the superpotential dynamically generated by these phenomena can be highly nontrivial, it can often be exactly determined. We discuss some general techniques for analyzing the Wilsonian superpotential and demonstrate them with simple but non-trivial examples.

Dynamics of N = 2 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories in Three Dimensions
We study the structure of the moduli spaces of vacua and superpotentials of N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories in three dimensions. By analyzing the instanton corrections, we compute the the exact superpotentials and determine the quantum Coulomb and Higgs branches of the theories. We find candidates for non-trivial N = 2 superconformal field theories at the singularities of the moduli spaces....

We study the structure of the moduli spaces of vacua and superpotentials of N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories in three dimensions. By analyzing the instanton corrections, we compute the exact superpotentials and determine the quantum Coulomb and Higgs branches of the theories in the weak coupling regions. We find candidates for non-trivial N = 2 superconformal field theories at the singularit...
متن کاملThree Types of Superpotentials for Perturbations in the Einstein-gauss-bonnet Gravity
Superpotentials (antisymmetric tensor densities) in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) gravity for arbitrary types of perturbations on arbitrary curved backgrounds are constructed. As a basis, the generalized conservation laws in the framework of an arbitrary D-dimensional metric theory, where conserved currents are expressed through divergences of superpotentials, are used. Such a derivation is exact...
متن کاملOn 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 کاملMonopole Condensation and Confining Phase of N = 1 Gauge Theories Via M Theory
The fivebrane of M theory is used in order to study the moduli space of vacua of confining phase N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions. The supersymmetric vacua correspond to the condensation of massless monopoles and confinement of photons. The monopole and meson vacuum expectation values are computed using the fivebrane configuration. The comparison of the fivebrane computati...
