Talk title: Factorization of Seiberg-Witten curves from Random Matrix Models
Abstract:
In this talk we focus on N=2 U(N) super Yang-Mills theory with N_f < N flavors
broken to N=1 by a general tree level superpotential. Using the Dijkgraaf-Vafa
conjecture we show how to calculate the quantum effective superpotential
for the unbroken gauge group. From these results we explain how to extract
the factorization data of Seiberg-Witten curves with matter. This solution
corresponds to the tuning of all moduli of the N=2 theory such that all
monopoles become massless.
Using a slightly extended version of the Dijkgraaf-Vafa proposal, we are
able to shed some new light on the Affleck-Dine-Seiberg effective superpotential.
