Mass spectra in N=1 SQCD with additional colorless but flavored fields.II
Abstract
This paper continues our previous study of similar theories in ch5. We also consider here the N=1 SQCD-like theories with SU(Nc) colors (and their Seiberg's dual with SU(NF-Nc) dual colors) and NF flavors of light quarks, and with NF2 additional colorless flavored fields ji, but now with NF in the range 2Nc<NF<3Nc. The multiplicities of various vacua and quark and gluino condensates in these vacua are found. The mass spectra of the direct and Seiberg's dual theories in various vacua are calculated within the dynamical scenario which assumes that quarks in such N=1 SQCD-like theories can be in two standard phases only. These are either the HQ (heavy quark) phase where they are confined or the Higgs phase. The word standard implies here also that, in such N=1 theories without elementary colored adjoint scalars, no additional parametrically light solitons (e.g. magnetic monopoles or dyons) are formed at those scales where quarks decouple as heavy or are higgsed. Recall that this scenario satisfies all those tests which were used as checks of the Seiberg hypothesis about the equivalence of the direct and dual theories. The mass spectra of these direct and Seiberg's dual theories calculated within this framework were found to be different, in general. These parametrical differences of mass spectra of direct and dual theories show, in particular, that all those tests, which were used as checks of the Seiberg hypothesis about the equivalence of the direct and dual theories, although necessary, may well be insufficient. Besides, the mass spectrum of the dual theory with SU(NF-Nc) colors and Nc+1<NF<3Nc/2 dual quark flavors was calculated. And finally, considered is the direct N=2 SQCD with SU(Nc) colors and Nc+1<NF<3Nc/2 flavors of light quarks...
