A brane configuration is described that is relevant to understanding the dynamics of N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. Confinement and spontaneous breaking of a discrete chiral symmetry can be understood as consequences of the topology of the brane. Because of the symmetry breaking, there can be domain walls separating different vacua; the QCD string can end on such a domain wall. The model in which these properties can be understood semiclassically does not coincide with supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory but is evidently in the same universality class.

  1. Domain Walls in Large-$N$ QCD$_3$

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Fluctuating the composite domain-wall profile in the bosonic dual of large-N QCD3 produces a level-N gauged WZW theory on the wall, matching anomaly-inflow expectations.

  2. Baryons, Skyrmions and $\theta$-periodicity anomaly in chiral and vector-like gauge theories

    hep-th 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    In chiral SU(N) gauge theories with mixed one- and two-index matter, the CFL-phase coset topology yields no Skyrmions yet permits stable heavy baryons protected by unbroken symmetries, unlike vector-like models; theta...

  3. Degenerate Domain Walls in Supersymmetric Theories

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In supersymmetric QCD with any number of flavors, the number of degenerate k-domain walls is exactly N!/((N-k)!k!), split into locally distinguishable and topologically distinct classes.
