Abstract

We consider four dimensional N=1\mathcal{N}=1 gauge theories that are S-confining, that is they are dual to a Wess-Zumino model. S-confining theories with a simple gauge group have been classified. We prove all the S-confining dualities in the list, when the matter fields transform in rank-11 and/or rank-22 representations. Our only assumptions are the S-confining dualities for SU(N)SU(N) with N+1N+1 flavors and for Usp(2N)Usp(2N) with 2N+42N+4 fundamentals. The strategy consists in a sequence of deconfinements and re-confinements. We pay special attention to the explicit superpotential at each step.
