Abstract:
We use recent results of Intriligator and Wecht [hep-th/0304128] to study the phase structure of \NN=1 super Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(Nc)SU(N_c), a chiral superfield in the adjoint, and NfN_f chiral superfields in the fundamental representation of the gauge group. Our discussion sheds new light on [hep-th/0304128] and supports the conjecture that the central charge aa decreases under RG flows and is non-negative in unitary four dimensional conformal field theories.
