Rotated Branes and N=1 Duality

Abstract

We consider configurations of rotated NS-branes leading to a family of four-dimensional N=1 super-QCD theories, interpolating between four-dimensional analogues of the Hanany-Witten vacua, and the Elitzur-Giveon-Kutasov configuration for N=1 duality. The rotation angle is the N=2 breaking parameter, the mass of the adjoint scalar in the N=2 vector multiplet. We add some comments on the relevance of these configurations as possible stringy proofs of N=1 duality.
