We build a matrix model of a chiral [SU(N)]^K gauge theory (5D SQCD deconstructed down to 4D) using random unitary matrices to model chiral bifundamental fields (N,N-bar) (without (N-bar,N)). We verify the duality by matching the loop…
We consider the effective superpotentials of N=1 SU(N_c) and U(N_c) supersymmetric gauge theories that are obtained from the N=2 theory by adding a tree-level superpotential. We show that several of the techniques for computing the…

We study the relation between a supermatrix model and the free 4D, N=1 supersymmetric field theory of a massless supermultiplet with spins (3, 5/2). In order to do this, we construct a superfield formulation of the theory. We show that…
We investigate supersymmetric QCD with N_c+1 flavors using an extension of the recently proposed relation between gauge theories and matrix models. The impressive agreement between the two sides provides a beautiful confirmation of the…

We describe the effective supergravity theory present below the scale of spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking due to an anomalous U(1), obtained by integrating out tree-level interactions of massive modes. A simple case is examined in some…
A hermitian one-matrix model with an even quartic potential exhibits a third-order phase transition when the cuts of the matrix model curve coalesce. We use the known solutions of this matrix model to compute effective superpotentials of an…
We use matrix model technology to study the N=2 U(N) gauge theory with N_f massive hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. We perform a completely perturbative calculation of the periods a_i and the prepotential F(a) up to the…
We derive the superpotential of gauge theories having matter fields in the fundamental representation of gauge fields by using the method of Dijkgraaf and Vafa. We treat the theories with one flavour and reproduce a well-known…
We use the matrix model to describe the N=2 SO(N)/Sp(N) supersymmetric gauge theories with massive hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. By taking the tree level superpotential perturbation made of a polynomial of a scalar…
We argue that for a large class of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories the effective superpotential as a function of the glueball chiral superfield is exactly given by a summation of planar diagrams of the same gauge theory. This perturbative…
We derive the general supertrace formula for a system with $N$ chiral superfields and one nilpotent chiral superfield in global and local supersymmetry. The nilpotent multiplet is realized by taking the scalar-decoupling limit of a chiral…
