论文摘要
我们认为在$ s^5 $上的超对称规格理论,其大型$ n $限制的负轴耦合。使用本地化,我们计算分区的功能,并表明纯$ {\ Mathrm {su}}(n)$量学理论降至$ {\ m atrm {su}}}(n/2)_ {+n/2)_ {+n/2} \ time {\ mathrm {su}}(2)$ Chern-simons量规理论,因为逆't Hooft耦合被以$ n $偶数为$ n $。 $ {\ mathrm {su}}(n/2)_ {\ pm n/2} $的Yang-mills耦合是正的且无限的,而在$ {\ mathrm {surm {su}}}}(2)$上的yang-millms _ {\ pm n/2} $是零的。我们还表明,奇数$ n $ case的行为有所不同。然后,我们研究$ {\ mathrm {su}}(n/2)_ {n/2} $ pure chern-simons理论。尽管仅在数值上找到特征值密度,但我们表明其宽度等于倒数球半径的$ 1 $,这使我们能够在打开Yang-Mills项时找到对自由能的领先校正。然后,我们考虑具有反对称超对称性的$ {\ mathrm {usp}}(2n)$理论,$ n_f <8 $基本超级甲基元素并进行了类似的分析。在此过程中,我们表明,对分区功能的一单位贡献贡献在大$ n $限制中的$ {\ mathrm {su}}}(n)$理论的负耦合时仍被指数抑制。
We consider supersymmetric gauge theories on $S^5$ with a negative Yang-Mills coupling in their large $N$ limits. Using localization we compute the partition functions and show that the pure ${\mathrm{SU}}(N)$ gauge theory descends to an ${\mathrm{SU}}(N/2)_{+N/2}\times {\mathrm{SU}}(N/2)_{-N/2}\times {\mathrm{SU}}(2)$ Chern-Simons gauge theory as the inverse 't Hooft coupling is taken to negative infinity for $N$ even. The Yang-Mills coupling of the ${\mathrm{SU}}(N/2)_{\pm N/2}$ is positive and infinite, while that on the ${\mathrm{SU}}(2)$ goes to zero. We also show that the odd $N$ case has somewhat different behavior. We then study the ${\mathrm{SU}}(N/2)_{N/2}$ pure Chern-Simons theory. While the eigenvalue density is only found numerically, we show that its width equals $1$ in units of the inverse sphere radius, which allows us to find the leading correction to the free energy when turning on the Yang-Mills term. We then consider ${\mathrm{USp}}(2N)$ theories with an antisymmetric hypermultiplet and $N_f<8$ fundamental hypermultiplets and carry out a similar analysis. Along the way we show that the one-instanton contribution to the partition function remains exponentially suppressed at negative coupling for the ${\mathrm{SU}}(N)$ theories in the large $N$ limit.
