abstract

Motivated by recent work of Dijkgraaf and Vafa, we study anomalies and the chiral ring structure in a supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory with an adjoint chiral superfield and an arbitrary superpotential. A certain generalization of the Konishi anomaly leads to an equation which is identical to the loop equation of a bosonic matrix model. This allows us to solve for the expectation values of the chiral operators as functions of a finite number of ``integration constants.'' From this, we can derive the Dijkgraaf-Vafa relation of the effective superpotential to a matrix model. Some of our results are applicable to more general theories. For example, we determine the classical relations and quantum deformations of the chiral ring of $\N=1$ super Yang-Mills theory with SU(N) gauge group, showing, as one consequence, that all supersymmetric vacua of this theory have a nonzero chiral condensate.

  1. New Exotic Operators in the Spectrum of Wilson Lines in General Representations

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    New exotic operators appear on Wilson lines in general representations; their dimension-one superprimaries produce marginally relevant deformations of half-BPS defects in N=4 SYM, supported by a general weak-coupling ...

    The complete one-loop supercharge for 4d Lagrangian SUSY gauge theories is derived in the holomorphic twist, packaged for N=4 SYM as a compact superfield formula.

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The apparently broken SU(4) R-symmetry of the Z2 orbifold of N=4 SYM is recovered as a Lie algebroid and, after marginal deformation, as a Drinfeld-twisted non-associative algebroid under which the planar Lagrangian i...

  4. Phases and triple(multiple) point: critical phenomena around the AD singularity

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For the L=2 one-unitary matrix model, the paper determines the phase separation lines, finds a triple point at (tau, lambda)=(1/8, 3/2), and identifies the 1-to-2 gap line as the k=2 multicritical line.
