Abstract

In this project we investigate the behaviour of strongly coupled gauge theories with massive fermion ﬁelds under the S-duality proposed by Sugimoto [1]. In the massless case described by Sugimoto we see that the highly non-trivial dynamics of the fermion ﬁelds corresponds directly to the behaviour o...
