Talk title: Chiral gauge theories and the Konishi anomaly
Abstract:
The talk begins with a brief introduction on N=1 gauge theories,
focusing on the importance of the effective superpotential and reviewing the new
techniques to compute it systematically. We then proceed to consider chiral
gauge theories, for which the Konishi anomaly proves to be enough to solve
exactly for the effective superpotential. We use these results to discuss
the occurrence of dynamical supersymmetry breaking.
