Negative dimensional group extrapolation and dualities in N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories

Abstract

We point out that the similarities in N = 1 supersymmetric SO, SP gauge theories can be explained by using the trick of extrapolating the groups to the negative dimensions. One of the advantages of this trick is that anomaly matching is automatically satisfied.

6 pages, LaTeX, no figure, Manuscript has been substantially modified because the duality we proposed before as an application of our method was wrong. The title itself has been changed accordingly
