Strong versus weak coupling confinement in image supersymmetric QCD Original Research Article

We consider image supersymmetric QCD with the gauge group image and image number of quark matter multiplets, being perturbed by a small mass term for the adjoint matter, so that its Coulomb branch shrinks to a number of isolated vacua. We discuss the vacuum where image quarks develop VEVʹs for image (in particular, we focus on the image and image cases). In the equal quark mass limit at large masses this vacuum stays at weak coupling, the low-energy theory has image gauge symmetry and one observes the non-Abelian confinement of monopoles. As we reduce the average quark mass and enter the strong coupling regime the quark condensate transforms into the condensate of dyons. We show that the low energy description in the strongly-coupled domain for the original theory is given by image dual gauge theory of image light non-Abelian dyons, where the condensed dyons still cause the confinement of monopoles, and not of the quarks, as can be thought by naive duality.
