List of known Seiberg-dual pairs of N=1 gauge theories

Question

Is there a nice list of known Seiberg-dual pairs somewhere? There are so many papers from the middle 1990s but I do not find comprehensive review. Could you suggest a reference?

If there's no reference, could somebody make the list and post it here?

Seiberg's original paper is this Inspire entry and its cited by these papers. Could someone go through this list of 1000 papers and make the list?

Answer 1

A list of some dual pairs for exceptional gauge groups is in

• Jacques Distler, Andreas Karch, N=1 Dualities for Exceptional Gauge Groups and Quantum Global Symmetries (arXiv:hep-th/9611088)

For non-exceptional gauge groups there are "lists" in the form of explicit algorithms for how to construct the dual partner, see section 4 of

• Subir Mukhopadhyay, Koushik Ray, Seiberg duality as derived equivalence for some quiver gauge theories (arXiv:hep-th/0309191).

In as far as a comprehensive list of such lists is missing in the literature, one could construct one on a page like this (if one had the time...)

@Joe I knew that the list doesn't exist in the literature, that's why I asked here :p I learned that I should've asked this question after the tp.se community grew up more.

Maybe, but it really seems to require a huge time investment by anyone giving such an answer. Perhaps a better approach would be via community wiki, where people simply edit the top answer to add in any they are aware of that are not already listed.

I agree. I think Urs deserves many points anyway through his contribution to tp.se at large, so I "accept" his answer :)

@Yuji: for Urs to get the full bounty you have to explicitly award it. I am pretty sure just accepting an answer only awards half the bounty when the time expires. Perhaps that is your intention, but in case not, I figured I would let you know.

Ah, I see. Then I'll award him the bounty, but I don't accept his answer!

Nobody has given me the definitive list as the answer. So, the bounty will be lost, too bad!

@Urs: That paper by Mukhopadhyay and Ray only talks about SU groups, so your characterization of it as about "non-exceptional" sounds a bit off the point to me. Also, on your ncat page, you say Seiberg duality is formalized as derived equivalences of quivers, but mathematical quivers are again only for U or SU groups... I don't understand why most of the mathematicians only care about U(N) quivers. They can easily analyze SO or Sp quivers, can't they???

Here is a review by Chaichian, Chen and Montonen:

Thanks, but I was not asking for reviews. I'm looking for a comprehensive list of dual pairs.

Answer 3

I had seen some such "list" in the papers by Romelsberger and those by Spiridinov and Vartanov. Maybe you are looking for papers like these,

• Christian Romelsberger, Calculating the Superconformal Index and Seiberg Duality (arXiv:0707.3702)

• V.P. Spiridonov, G.S. Vartanov, Supersymmetric dualities beyond the conformal window (arXiv:1003.6109)

Thanks, but neither of them is complete, e.g. they don't contain duals with exceptional gauge groups ...
