Abstract

We study N=1 dualities in four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories by D 6-branes wrapping around 3-cycles of Calabi-Yau threefolds in the type IIA string theory. We consider the models involving SU(Nc1)×SU(Nc2)SU(N_{c1})\times SU(N_{c2}) product gauge group without or with adjoint matter in terms of geometrical realisation of the configuration of D 6-branes wrapped 3-cycles. We also find simple geometric description for the triple product gauge group SU(Nc1)×SU(Nc2)×SU(Nc3)SU(N_{c1})\times SU(N_{c2})\times SU(N_{c3}) interpreted recently by Brodie and Hanany in the context of D brane configurations together with NS 5-branes. Their introduction of semi-infinite D 4-branes appears naturally by looking at the flavor group in the dual theory. We generalize to product of arbitrary number of gauge groups.
