Dial M for Flavor Symmetry Breaking

Abstract

We introduce a realization of Seiberg duality in MQCD that does not involve moving branes. Using related arguments in M Theory and IIA, we investigate the flavor symmetry breaking via flavored magnetic monopole condensation of hep-th/0005076. We verify our results by considering visualizations of M5 branes corresponding to $\mathbb{N}=2$ vacua which survive soft breaking by an adjoint mass term.
