Duals for SU(N) SUSY gauge theories with an antisymmetric tensor: five easy flavors

Abstract

I consider N=1 supersymmetric SU(N_c) gauge theories with matter fields consisting of one antisymmetric representation, five flavors, and enough anti-fundamental representations to cancel the gauge anomaly. Previous analyses are extended to the case of even N_c with no superpotential. Using holomorphy I show that the theory has an interacting infrared fixed point for sufficiently large N_c. These theories are interesting due to the fact that in going from five to four flavors the theory goes from a non-trivial infrared fixed point to confinement, in contradistinction to SUSY QCD, but in analogy to the behavior expected in non-SUSY QCD.
