Abstract

We show that new nonperturbative scales exist in four-dimensional N = 1 super-Yang-Mills theory compactified on a circle, with an iterated-exponential dependence on the inverse gauge coupling. The lightest states with the quantum numbers of four-dimensional glueballs are nonrelativistic bound states of dual Cartan gluons and superpartners, with binding energy equal to e−e1/g2 in units of the confining mass gap. Focusing on SU(2) gauge group, we construct the nonrelativistic effective theory, show that the lightest glueball/glueballino states fill a chiral supermultiplet, and determine their “doubly-nonperturbative” binding energy. The iterated-exponential dependence on the gauge coupling is due to nonperturbative couplings in the long distance theory, λ∼e−1g2, which are responsible for attractive interactions, in turn producing exponentially small, ∼e−1λ, effects.
