Contribution

It introduces fourteen new classes of supersymmetric gauge theories with dual descriptions, generalizing previous models and demonstrating interconnectedness through RG flows.

Findings

Identification of 14 new duality classes

Chiral models with multiple gauge groups

Interrelations via confinement and symmetry breaking

Abstract

We present evidence for renormalization group fixed points with dual magnetic descriptions in fourteen new classes of four-dimensional $N=1$ supersymmetric models. Nine of these classes are chiral and many involve two or three gauge groups. These theories are generalizations of models presented earlier by Seiberg, by Kutasov and Schwimmer, and by the present authors. The different classes are interrelated; one can flow from one class to another using confinement or symmetry breaking.
