Abstract
We study the dynamics of \( \mathcal{N} \) = 1 supersymmetric systems consisting of the strongly-coupled superconformal theory T N , SU(N ) gauge groups, and fundamental chiral multiplets. We demonstrate that such systems exhibit familiar phenomena such as deformation of the vacuum moduli space, appearance of the dynamical superpotential, and Coulomb branches with \( \mathcal{N} \) = 1 Seiberg-Witten curves. The analysis requires a rather detailed knowledge of the chiral ring of the T N theory, which will also be discussed at length.
