The equivalence of Sp(2N) and SO(-2N) gauge theories
Description
It is proved that all gauge invariant quantities in the Sp(2N) quantum gauge theory transform into those of SO(2N) after changing N → -N, at fixed lambda = g2N. Matter multiplets transform into multiplets with transposed Young diagrams with nsub(f) → nsub(f)(-1)sup(d), where nsub(f) is the number of flavors, and d the number of squares in the Young diagram.
