Extended \(\mathcal N = 1\) super Yang-Mills theory




Abstract: We solve a generalization of ordinary N=1 super Yang-Mills theory with gauge group U(N) and an adjoint chiral multiplet X for which we turn on both an arbitrary tree-level superpotential term int d^{2} heta Tr W(X) and an arbitrary field-dependent gauge kinetic term int d^{2} heta Tr V(X)W^{alpha}W_{alpha}. When W=0, the model reduces to the extended Seiberg-Witten theory recently studied by Marshakov and Nekrasov. We use two different points of view: a macroscopic approach, using generalized anomaly equations, the Dijkgraaf-Vafa matrix model and the glueball superpotential; and the recently proposed microscopic approach, using Nekrasov's sum over colored partitions and the quantum microscopic superpotential. The two formalisms are based on completely different sets of variables and statistical ensembles. Yet it is shown that they yield precisely the same gauge theory correlators. This beautiful mathematical equivalence is a facet of the open/closed string duality. A full microscopic derivation of the non-perturbative N=1 gauge dynamics follows.
