Super Yang-Mills With Flavors From Large Nf Matrix Models
Christiaan Hofman
Abstract
We consider the exact effective superpotential of N=1 U(Nc) super Yang-Mills theory with Nf massive flavors an additional adjoint Higgs field. We use the proposal of Dijkgraaf and Vafa to calculate the superpotential in terms of a matrix model with a large number of flavors. We do this by gauging the flavor symmetry and forcing this sector in a classical vacuum. This gives rise to a 2-matrix model of ADE type A2, and large flavors. This approach allows us to add an arbitrary polynomial tree level superpotential for the Higgs field, and use strict large N methods in the matrix model.
