Supersymmetric Gauge Theories with an Affine Quantum Moduli Space

Abstract

All supersymmetric gauge theories based on simple groups which have an affine quantum moduli space, i.e. one generated by gauge invariants with no relations, W=0, and anomaly matching at the origin, are classified. It is shown that the only theories with no gauge invariants (and moduli space equal to a single point) are the two known examples, SU(5) with 5-bar + 10 and SO(10) with a spinor. The index of the matter representation must be at least as big as the index of the adjoint in theories which have a non-trivial relation among the gauge invariants.

Incorrect proof that theories with constraints must have mu >= mu(adj) replaced by a correct one (6 pages, uses revtex, amssymb, array)
