New RG Fixed Points and Duality in Supersymmetric SP(N_c) and SO(N_c) Gauge Theories

Abstract

We present evidence for new, non-trivial RG fixed points with dual magnetic descriptions in $N=1$ supersymmetric $SP(N_c)$ and $SO(N_c)$ gauge theories. The $SP(N_c)$ case involves matter $X$ in the antisymmetric tensor representation and $N_f$ flavors of quarks $Q$ in the fundamental representation. The $SO(N_c)$ case involves matter $X$ in the symmetric tensor representation and $N_f$ flavors of quarks $Q$ in the vector representation of $SO(N_c)$. Perturbing these theories by superpotentials $W(X)$, we find a variety of interesting RG fixed points with dual descriptions. The duality in these theories is similar to that found by Kutasov and by Kutasov and Schwimmer in $SU(N_c)$ with adjoint $X$ and $N_f$ quarks in the fundamental.
