Meta-stable brane configurations of multiple product gauge groups with orientifold 6 plane

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Starting from an N=1 supersymmetric electric gauge theory with the gauge group SU(Nc) × SU(N′c) × SU(N″c) with fundamentals for each gauge group, the bifundamentals, a symmetric flavor and a conjugate symmetric flavor for SU(Nc), we apply Seiberg dual to each gauge group, obtain the N=1 supersymmetric dual magnetic gauge theories with dual matters including the gauge singlets, and describe the intersecting brane configurations of type IIA string theory corresponding to the meta-stable nonsupersymmetric vacua of this gauge theory. We also discuss the case where a symmetric flavor is replaced by an antisymmetric flavor. Next we apply to the case for N=1 supersymmetric electric gauge theory with the gauge group SO(Nc) × SU(N′c) × SU (N″c) with flavors for each gauge group and the bifundamentals. Finally, we describe the case where the orientifold 6-plane charge is reversed.
