abstract

We study the large $N$ $\theta$ dependence and the $\eta^\prime$ potential in supersymmetric QCD with small soft SUSY-breaking terms. Known exact results in SUSY QCD are found to reflect a variety of expectations from large $N$ perturbation theory, including the presence of branches and the behavior of theories with matter (both with $N_f \ll N$ and $N_f \sim N$). However, there are also striking departures from ordinary QCD and the conventional large $N$ description: instanton effects, when under control, are not exponentially suppressed at large $N$, and branched structure in supersymmetric QCD is always associated with approximate discrete symmetries. We suggest that these differences motivate further study of large $N$ QCD on the lattice.

  1. Dynamical Up-quark Mass Generation in QCD-like theories

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In an AMSB SQCD model with F=N=3, the chiral Lagrangian coefficients predict a dynamical up quark mass ratio mu_u/mu_d of order one, while the effect is suppressed for F<N.

    The ACGT order-of-limits prescription fails to reproduce the correct θ-dependent energy spectrum in the quantum rotor and quantum pendulum.

  3. Phase Transitions at Unusual Values of $\theta$

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using Seiberg-Witten theory plus anomaly mediation, the authors find first-order phase transitions in the theta-dependent vacuum energy at theta = pi (N_F=0), 0 and pi (N_F=1), pi/2 and 3pi/2 (N_F=2), and pi/4, 3pi/4,...
