Riccardo Argurio, Gabriele Ferretti, Rainer Heise
TL;DR
This paper investigates chiral SU(N) supersymmetric gauge theories, demonstrating how to derive non-perturbative superpotentials and analyze supersymmetry breaking using the Konishi anomaly, with specific focus on SU(5) and general SU(N) cases.
Contribution
It introduces a method to derive non-perturbative superpotentials and analyze supersymmetry breaking in chiral SU(N) theories using the Konishi anomaly, extending previous understanding.
Findings
Reproduced the non-perturbative superpotential for SU(5) with two families.
Showed dynamical supersymmetry breaking can be understood via the Konishi anomaly.
Commented on the structure of the chiral ring in these theories.
Abstract
We study chiral SU(N) supersymmetric gauge theories with matter in the antifundamental and antisymmetric representations. For SU(5) with two families, we show how to reproduce the non-perturbatively generated superpotential, and we discuss dynamical supersymmetry breaking purely in terms of the Konishi anomaly. We apply the same technique in general to SU(N) with one family. We also briefly comment on the chiral ring for these theories.
