TL;DR

This paper explores specific brane configurations in type IIA string theory that correspond to metastable, supersymmetry-breaking vacua in a four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with adjoint matter and deformed superpotential terms.

Contribution

It provides a detailed string theory realization of metastable vacua in SQCD with adjoint matter, extending previous models to include brane configurations with three deformed superpotential terms.

Findings

Identifies brane setups corresponding to metastable vacua with adjoint matter.

Connects string theory configurations to supersymmetry breaking in gauge theories.

Enhances understanding of nonperturbative effects in supersymmetric models.

Abstract

We present the configurations of intersecting branes in type IIA string theory corresponding to the meta-stable supersymmetry breaking vacua(hep-th/0608063) in the four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory coupled massive flavors with adjoint matter where the superpotential has three deformed terms.
