$4d$ ${\mathcal N}=1$ super Yang-Mills (SYM) with simply connected gauge group $G$ has $h$ gapped vacua arising from the spontaneously broken discrete $R$-symmetry, where $h$ is the dual Coxeter number of $G$. Therefore, the theory admits…

Employing the AdS/CFT correspondence, we give an explicit supergravity picture for the renormalization group flow of couplings 4-d super Yang Mills with four supercharges. The solution represents a domain wall of 5-d, N=2 supergravity, that…

We study BPS saturated domain walls in the supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory. For a theory with a very light adjoint scalar (mass <~ Lambda/400) we use the perturbed N=2 Seiberg-Witten theory to calculate the actual field configuration of…

We use Monte Carlo methods to directly evaluate D-dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills partition functions reduced to zero Euclidean dimensions, with and without supersymmetry. In the non-supersymmetric case, we find that the integrals exist for…

We investigate the superconformal index of four-dimensional N=1 superconformal field theories that arise on coincident M5 branes wrapping a holomorphic curve in a local Calabi-Yau three-fold. The structure of the index is very similar to…
