Abstract

We consider SQCD for Nf<Nc. We use a brane configuration in type IIA string theory to propose a Seiberg dual. The brane configuration that realizes the magnetic theory contains Nf branes and Nc−Nf antibranes, leading to an SU(Nc−Nf) gauge theory with Nf flavors. The potential between the branes triggers a RG flow, and we argue that the IR theory realizes the Affleck-Dine-Seiberg superpotential. We use both field theory arguments, in particular, anomaly matching, and a lift of the type IIA brane configuration to M theory, in order to support our proposal.
