Mirror symmetry for N=1 QED in three dimensions

  • 1. E-mail: gremm at feynman.princeton.edu (United States)

Description

We construct three-dimensional N=1 QED with Nf flavors using branes of type IIB string theory. This theory has a mirror, which can be realized using the S-dual brane configuration. As in examples with more supersymmetry, the Higgs branch of the original theory gets mapped into the Coulomb branch of the mirror. We use parity invariance to argue that these branches cannot be lifted by quantum corrections. (author)
