M theory, Joyce orbifolds and superYang-Mills

We geometrically engineer d=4 N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories by considering M theory on various Joyce orbifolds. We argue that the superpotential of these models is generated by fractional membrane instantons. The relation of this superpotential to membrane anomalies is also discussed.

M-theory
gauge field theory: Yang-Mills
supersymmetry
orbifold
potential
membrane model: anomaly
singularity
spectrum: massless
Theta parameter
coupling constant
