Abstract: (Springer)
The TN_{N} theory is a non-Lagrangian theory with SU(N)3^{3} flavor symmetry. We argue that when mass terms are given so that two of SU(N)’s are both broken to SU(N −1)×U(1), it becomes TN1_{N −1} theory coupled to an SU(N −1) vector multiplet together with N fundamentals. This implies that when two of SU(N)’s are both broken to U(1)^{N}^{ −1}, the theory becomes a linear quiver.
