A Comment on Duality in SUSY SU(N) Gauge Theory with a Symmetric Tensor

TL;DR

This paper proposes an alternative deconfinement approach for N=1 SU(N) supersymmetric gauge theories with symmetric tensors, showing that different dual descriptions are connected by duality transformations and both preserve Seiberg duality.

Contribution

It introduces a new deconfinement method for SUSY SU(N) gauge theories and demonstrates the equivalence of dual descriptions via duality transformations.

Findings

Both dual prescriptions are connected by duality transformations.

Deformed theories flow consistently, preserving Seiberg duality.

The new approach offers an alternative perspective on dualities in SUSY gauge theories.

Abstract

We suggest an alternative approach to deconfine N =1 SU(N) supersymmetric gauge theory with a symmetric tensor, fundamentals, anti-fundamentals, and no superpotential. It is found that although the dual prescription derived by this new method of deconfinement is different from that by the original method, both dual prescriptions are connected by duality transformations. By deforming the theory, it is shown that both dual theories flow properly so that the Seiberg's duality is preserved.
