Abstract
We interpret the dynamics of Supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) in terms of ideas familiar from the hadronic world. Some mysterious properties of the supersymmetric theory, such as the emergent magnetic gauge symmetry, are shown to have analogs in QCD. On the other hand, several phenomenological concepts, such as “hidden local symmetry” and “vector meson dominance,” are shown to be rigorously realized in SQCD. These considerations suggest a relation between the flavor symmetry group and the emergent gauge fields in theories with a weakly coupled dual description.

Anomaly constraints on deconfinement and chiral phase transition

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the thermal phase transition of SU(Nc) gauge theories by using the T Hooft anomaly involving the center symmetry and chiral symmetry, and showed that the chiral symmetrization restoration in terms of the standard Landau-Ginzburg effective action is impossible at a temperature lower than that of deconfinement.

A planar diagram theory for strong interactions

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that only planar diagrams with the quarks at the edges dominate; the topological structure of the perturbation series in 1/N is identical to that of the dual models, such that the number 1/n corresponds to the dual coupling constant.

Structure of phenomenological Lagrangians. 1.

TL;DR: In this article, the general structure of phenomenological Lagrangian theories is investigated, and the possible transformation laws of the phenomenological fields under a group are discussed, which is equivalent to finding all (nonlinear) realizations of a (compact, connected, semisimpleasure) Lie group which become linear when restricted to a given subgroup.
