Extended MQCD and SUSY/non-SUSY duality

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-02-03 v3

Abstract

We study the SUSY/non-SUSY duality proposed by Aganagic et al. from Type IIA string and M-theory perspectives. We find that our brane configuration generalizes the so-called extendedextended Seiberg-Witten theory on the one hand, and provides a way to realize non-SUSY vacua by intersecting NS5-branes on the other hand. We also argue how the partial SUSY breaking from \Ncal=2\Ncal=2 down to \Ncal=1\Ncal=1 can be clearly visualized through the brane picture.
