On Duality in Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-07-09 v1

Abstract

We discuss non-abelian SU(Nc)SU(N_c) gauge theory coupled to an adjoint chiral superfield XX, and a number of fundamental chiral superfields QiQ^i. Using duality, we show that turning on a superpotential W(X)=\Trl=1kglXl+1W(X)=\Tr\sum_{l=1}^k g_l X^{l+1} leads to non-trivial long distance dynamics, a large number of multicritical IR fixed points and vacua, connected to each other by varying the coefficients glg_l.
