There are supersymmetric gauge theories which do not possess any parameters nor flat directions, and hence cannot be studied anywhere in the field space using holomorphy (``non-calculable''). Some of them are believed to break supersymmetry dynamically. We propose a simple technique to analyze these models. Introducing a vector-like field into the model, one finds flat directions where one can study the dynamics. We unambiguously show that the supersymmetry is broken when the mass of the vector-like field is small but finite, and hence Witten index vanishes. If we increase the mass of the vector-like field, it eventually decouples from the dynamics and the models reduce to the original non-calculable models. Assuming the continuity of the Witten index in the parameter space, one can establish the dynamical supersymmetry breaking in the non-calculable models.

    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,...
