Abstract

The moduli space of vacua for the confining phase of N = 1 Sp(Nc) supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions is studied by M theory fivebrane. We construct M theory fivebrane configuration corresponding to the perturbation of superpotential in which the power of adjoint field is related to the number of NS'5 branes in type IIA brane configuration. We interpret the dyon vacuum expectation values in field theory results as the brane geometry and the comparison with meson vevs will turn out that the low energy effective superpotential with enhanced gauge group SU(2) is exact.
