More Confining N=1 SUSY Gauge Theories From Non-Abelian Duality

Abstract

We expand on an idea of Seiberg that an N=1 supersymmetric gauge theory shows confinement without breaking of chiral symmetry when the gauge symmetry of its magnetic dual is completely broken by the Higgs effect. This has recently been applied to some models involving tensor fields and an appropriate tree-level superpotential. We show how the confining spectrum of a supersymmetric gauge theory can easily be derived when a magnetic dual is known and we determine it explicitly for many models containing fields in second rank tensor representations. We also give the form of the confining superpotential for most of these models.
