Abstract

We discuss SU(Nc)SU(N_c) gauge theory coupled to two adjoint chiral superfields XX and YY, and a number of fundamental chiral superfields QiQ^i. We add a superpotential that has the form of Arnold's DD series W=\TrXk+1+\TrXY2W = \Tr X^{k+1} + \Tr XY^2. We present a dual description in terms of an SU(3kNfNc)SU(3kN_f - N_c) gauge theory, and we show that the duality passes many tests. At the end of the paper, we show how a deformation of this superpotential flows to another duality having a product gauge group SU(Nc)×SU(Nc)SU(N_c)\times SU(N_c'), with an adjoint field charged under SU(Nc)SU(N_c), an adjoint field charged under SU(Nc)SU(N_c'), fields in the (Nc,Nc)(N_c,N_c') and (Nc,Nc)(\overline N_c,\overline N_c') representation, and a number of fundamentals. The dual description is an SU(2kNf+kNfNc)×SU(2kNf+kNfNc)SU(2kN_f' + kN_f - N_c')\times SU(2kN_f + kN_f' - N_c) gauge theory.
