We study this phase in the large $N$ limit using the localization technique for the theory on the ellipsoid, which interpolates the round three sphere and the flat space compactified on $S^1$. We find a large $N$ saddle point solution for the gauge theory with some massive matter fields. This solution gives a vanishing (generalized) Polyakov loop in the flat space limit, thus, it corresponds to the confining phase at the leading order in the $1/N$ expansion.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-09-11T03:42:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "gauge theory", "supersymmetry breaking phase", "dimensional large", "dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories", "flat space limit" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
