Demonstration of Confinement and Chiral Symmetry Breaking in $SO(N_c)$ Gauge Theories

Abstract

We demonstrate that $SO(N_c)$ gauge theories with matter fields in the vector representation confine due to monopole condensation and break the $SU(N_F)$ chiral symmetry to $SO(N_F)$ via the quark bilinear. Our results are obtained by perturbing the $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric theory with anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking.
