Abstract

We review some of the recent work on the dynamics of four dimensional, supersymmetric gauge theories. The kinematics are largely determined by holomorphy and the dynamics are governed by duality. The results shed light on the phases of gauge theories. Some results and interpretations which have not been published before are also included.

• My question concerns the relation between the dynamical scales $\Lambda$ in theories that are related by Seiberg duality. Consider $SU(N)$ SQCD with $N+1 flavours. Seiberg duality tells us the magneti [stackexchange, 2 points]
