Phase Transitions at More Unusual Values of Theta
We calculate the $\theta$ dependence of the vacuum energy in an infinite family of cousins of QCD, where the vacuum structure can be analyzed exactly. These theories are $\mathcal{N}=1$ EFTs that descend from $\mathcal{N}=2$ $SU(N_c)$ gauge theory with $N_f$ flavors of fundamental hypermultiplets, that are then deforme...
