F-theory, Geometric Engineering and N=1 Dualities

Abstract
We consider geometric engineering of N=1 supersymmetric QFTs with matter in terms of a local model for compactification of F-theory on Calabi-Yau fourfold. By bringing 3-branes near 7-branes we engineer N=1 supersymmetric gauge theory with flavors in the fundamental. We identify the Higgs branch of this system with the instanton moduli space on the compact four dimensional space of the 7-brane worldvolume. Moreover we show that the Euclidean 3-branes wrapped around the compact part of the 7-brane worldvolume can generate superpotential for as well as lead to quantum corrections to the moduli space for . Finally we argue that Seiberg's duality for N=1 supersymmetric QCD may be mapped to T-duality exchanging 7-branes with 3-branes.
