We analyze an M theory fivebrane in order to study the moduli space of vacua of $N=1$ supersymmetric $\mathrm{Sp}{(N}_{c})$ gauge theories with ${N}_{f}$ flavors in four dimensions. We show how the $N=2$ Higgs branch can be encoded in M theory by studying the orientifold which plays a crucial role in …
