Getting N=1 super Yang-Mills from strings
Abstract
In the context of the gauge-string correspondence, we discuss the spontaneous partial breaking of supersymmetry. Starting from the orbifold of S5, supersymmetry breaking leads us to consider the (resolved) conifold background and some of the gauge dynamics encoded in that geometry. Using this gravity dual, we compute the low energy effective superpotential for such N=1 theories. We are naturally led to extend the Veneziano-Yankielowicz one: glueball fields appear.
