Abstract

We analyze dynamics of chiral gauge theories based on the SU(N)SU(N) gauge group with one anti-symmetric tensor AA and (N4)(N-4) anti-fundamentals FiF_{i} when NN is odd. Based on the continuity to the supersymmetric gauge theories with anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking, we claim that the global SU(N4)SU(N-4) symmetry is spontaneously broken to Sp(N5)Sp(N-5). There are N5N-5 massless fermions as a fundamental representation of Sp(N5)Sp(N-5), and another massless fermion, together saturating the anomaly matching conditions. When NN is even, the unbroken flavor symmetry is Sp(N4)Sp(N-4) while there are no massless fermions. Our result is different from the dynamics suggested by tumbling where the full SU(N4)SU(N-4) symmetry is unbroken, but the tumbling picture can be modified via the addition of a second condensate to produce the symmetry breaking pattern predicted from our method.
