On Realising N=1 Super Yang-Mills in M theory

Abstract

Pure N=1 super Yang-Mills theory can be realised as a certain low energy limit of M theory near certain singularities in $G_2$-holonomy spaces. For SU(n) and SO(2n) gauge groups these $M$ theory backgrounds can be regarded as strong coupling limits of wrapped D6-brane configurations in Type IIA theory on certain non-compact Calabi-Yau spaces such as the deformed conifold. Various aspects of such realisations are studied including the generation of the superpotential, domain walls, QCD strings and the relation to recent work of Vafa. In the spirit of this recent work we propose a `gravity dual' of M theory near these singularities.
