Abstract
We study SU(5) chiral gauge theories on $R^3\times S^1$. With an unequal number of fundamental and antifundmental matter representations we calculate nontrivial pre-ADS superpotentials generated by composite multi-monopoles. We also point out that the structure of the composite multi-monopoles can be determined simply from the affine Dynkin diagrams of the gauge group and its unbroken subgroup. For the case of one flavor, we find that the superpotential is independent of the composite meson. We show that dynamical 4D SUSY breaking in the simplest chiral SU(5) gauge theory can be demonstrated directly via semi-classical effects on the circle.
Author comments upon resubmission
We have addressed the three suggestions of Report 2, which we feel have improved the paper.
List of changes
1. Explained the notation of Table 2 in the caption, including an additional reference on the 4D deformed moduli space.
2. Added a paragraph in the conclusion which includes a discussion of what is know about the 4D limit of the 3D topological effects.
3. In the same paragraph we discussed a possible application to non-SUSY gauge theories.
