We study supersymmetric Sp(2N) gauge theories with matter in the antisymmetric tensor representation and F fundamentals. For F=6 we solve the theory exactly in terms of confined degrees of freedom and a superpotential. By adding mass terms we obtain the theories with F<6 which we find to exhibit a host of interesting non-perturbative phenomena: quantum deformed moduli spaces with N constraints, instanton-induced superpotentials and non-equivalent disjoint branches of moduli spaces. We find a simple dual for F=8 and no superpotential. We show how the F=4 and F=2 theories can be modified to break supersymmetry spontaneously and point out that the Sp(6) theory with F=6 may be very interesting for model builders.

  1. 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.

  2. AMSB in Truly Confining Gauge Theories

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Adding small AMSB to t-confining SUSY gauge theories moves the ground state to a superpotential branch and predicts discrete and flavor symmetry breaking such as Z6 to Z2 and Z16 x SU(2) to SO(2).
