Phases of chiral gauge theories
We discuss the behavior of two non-supersymmetric chiral $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ gauge theories, involving fermions in the symmetric and antisymmetric two-index tensor representations respectively. In addition to global anomaly matching, we employ a recently proposed inequality constraint on the number of effective low energy (massless) degrees of freedom of a theory, based …
