Dial M for Flavor Symmetry Breaking

We introduce a realization of Seiberg duality in MQCD that does not involve moving branes. Using related arguments in M Theory and IIA, we investigate the flavor symmetry breaking via flavored magnetic monopole condensation of hep-th/0005076. We verify our results by considering visualizations of M5 branes corresponding to $\N=2$ vacua which survive soft breaking by an adjoint mass term.

A Cohomological Approach to the Non-Abelian Seiberg-Witten Map

We present a cohomological method for obtaining the non-Abelian Seiberg-Witten map for any gauge group and to any order in theta. By introducing a ghost field, we are able to express the equations defining the Seiberg-Witten map through a coboundary operator, so that they can be solved by constructing a corresponding homotopy operator.
