Chiral Duals of Non-Chiral SUSY Gauge Theories

Abstract

We study $N=1$ SUSY gauge theories in four dimensions with gauge group $Spin(7)$ and $N_f$ flavors of quarks in the spinorial representation. We find that in the range $6<N_f<15$, this theory has a long distance description in terms of an $SU(N_f-4)$ gauge theory with a symmetric tensor and $N_f$ antifundamentals. As a spin-off, we obtain by deforming along a flat direction a dual description of the theories based on the exceptional gauge group $G_2$ with $N_f$ fundamental flavors of quarks.
