SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on calculating the Banks-Zaks fixed point for the magnetic dual of Supersymmetric Quantum Chromodynamics (SQCD). Key equations from hep-ph/9311340v4, specifically equations (2.1)-(2.3), are referenced, alongside derived formulas for Y(ijk), S(R), C(G), D(G), and C(R). The user encounters discrepancies in numerical factors when applying these equations, with the expected results being g²/16π² = (14/3)(2Nf-3Nc)/Nc and y²/16π² = (4/3)(2Nf-3Nc)/Nc. The discussion suggests using the beta function from hep-th/9509066 and formula (7) from hep-ph/9308304 to resolve the calculation issues.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Supersymmetric Quantum Chromodynamics (SQCD)
  • Familiarity with Banks-Zaks fixed point calculations
  • Knowledge of beta functions in quantum field theory
  • Ability to manipulate equations involving gauge theories
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the beta function derivation in hep-th/9509066
  • Study the implications of superpotential in magnetic phases
  • Examine formula (7) from hep-ph/9308304 for further insights
  • Explore the properties of SU(Nf-Nc) gauge groups
USEFUL FOR

The discussion is beneficial for theoretical physicists, particularly those specializing in quantum field theory, supersymmetry, and gauge theories, as well as graduate students tackling advanced topics in particle physics.

Homework Statement


Hi,

I'm trying to calculate the Banks-Zaks fixed point for the magnetic dual of SQCD.
the formula for it is in hep-ph/9311340v4 - equations (2.1)-(2.3).


Homework Equations


I've found Y(ijk)Y(ijk)=(4/36)Nc*Nf^2.
S(R)=(1/2)*2Nf= Nf
C(G)=Nf-Nc
D(G)=(Nf-Nc)^2-1
C(R)=(Nf-Nc)^2 -1/2(Nf-Nc)

but putting all there into (2.1)-(2.3) giving me answer with wrong numerical factor.
Could someone help?
the answer should be g^2/16(pi)^2 = (14/3)(2Nf-3Nc)/Nc
and y^2/16(pi)^2 = (4/3)(2Nf-3Nc)/Nc.

The Attempt at a Solution

I don't have time right now to check your work, but there's a formula for the beta function of SQCD that you can use to check some intermediate steps. Look at equation 5.1 of http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9509066 . That's for the original theory, but you can rewrite it in terms of the dual variables.
 
In the paper you wrote they have calculated the NSVZ beta function to the electric phase.
the calculation in the magnetic phase in more complicated becouse you have superpotential.
the only way to solve this is to use formula (7) from http://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ph/9308304
and remember we're working with SU(Nf-Nc) i.e d(G)=(Nf-Nc)^2 - 1.
