abstract

We use the fivebrane of M theory to study the $\theta$ dependence of four dimensional $SU(N_c)$ super Yang-Mills and super QCD softly broken by a gaugino mass. We compute the energy of the vacuum in the supergravity approximation. The results obtained are in qualitative agreement with field theory. We also study the $\theta$ dependence of the QCD string tension via the fivebrane.

  1. 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,...
