On duality of four dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge theory

Abstract

We show that Seiberg-like duality of $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge theory coupled with tensor chiral fields and fundamental chiral fields works if the meson spectrum built from the tensor fields takes particular form: a) It should be truncated; b) The $R$ charges of tensor fields $\{R_a\}$ and the truncated mesons $\{R_j\}$ take very special values. The meson spectrum so that the duality works is encoded elegantly in the factorization of the polynomial $y^n-1={\Phi }_{+}{\Phi }_{-}$. Our consideration covers many known $\mathcal{N}=1$ dualities and generates a large class of new examples.
