\(N=1\) supersymmetric gauge theories and supersymmetric \(3\)-cycles. (English) Zbl 0958.81126
Summary: In this paper we discuss the strong coupling limit of chiral \(N=1\) supersymmetric gauge theory via their embedding into M-theory. In particular we focus on the brane box models of Hanany and Zaffaroni and show that after a T-duality transformation their M-theory embedding is described by supersymmetric 3-cycles; its geometry will encode the holomorphic non-perturbative information about the gauge theory.
