We generalize recent results regarding the phase space of the mass deformed $E_1$ fixed point to a full class of five-dimensional superconformal field theories, known as $X_{1,N}$. As in the $E_1$ case, a phase transition occurs as a…

We study the phase structures of N=4 U(N) super Yang-Mills theories on R x S^3/Z_k with large N. The theory has many vacua labelled by the holonomy matrix along the non-trivial cycle on S^3/Z_k, and for the fermions the periodic and the…
