abstract

We study dynanics of $SU(N-4)$ gauge theories with fermions in rank-2 symmetric tensor and $N$ anti-fundamental representations, by perturbing supersymmetric theories with anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking. We find the $SU(N)\times U(1)$ global symmetry is dynamically broken to $SO(N)$ for $N\geq 17$, a different result from conjectures in the literature. For $N<17$, theories flow to infrared fixed points.

  1. Anomalies on ALE spaces and phases of gauge theory

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Certain 't Hooft anomalies invisible on compact 4-manifolds become visible on Eguchi–Hanson space, and this new anomaly rules out some proposed infrared composite spectra.

  2. A High-Quality Axion from Exact SUSY Chiral Dynamics

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A supersymmetric chiral gauge theory stabilized by anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking produces a composite QCD axion whose Peccei-Quinn symmetry is protected by a discrete gauge symmetry.

  3. Novel Phases of a Baryon-Dense QCD-like Theory

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Adding a baryon chemical potential to AMSB-deformed s-confining SQCD produces novel finite-density vacua with baryon-number and parity breaking, with both first- and second-order transitions.

  4. Truly Confining Supersymmetric Gauge Theories

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The authors propose a complete list of seven truly confining supersymmetric gauge theories and show that each exhibits magnetic operator condensation and discrete symmetry breaking, including two new models.

  5. Dynamics of $E_6$ Chiral Gauge Theories

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    E6 gauge theories with NF=1,2,3 fundamentals are solved in the near-supersymmetric limit, and NF=3 admits a vacuum with unbroken SU(3) and massless composite fermions in the 10 representation.

  6. Perusing confining pseudoreal theories: a story of emerging massless spin-1 bosons

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Confining pseudoreal gauge theories leave free massless spin-1 composites in the IR—one for almost all one-species models, two plus an NGB for the only confining two-species model.

  7. Phase Transitions at Unusual Values of $\theta$

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using Seiberg-Witten theory plus anomaly mediation, the authors find first-order phase transitions in the theta-dependent vacuum energy at theta = pi (N_F=0), 0 and pi (N_F=1), pi/2 and 3pi/2 (N_F=2), and pi/4, 3pi/4,...
