## Abstract

We present evidence for new, non-trivial RG fixed points with dual magnetic descriptions in $N=1$ supersymmetric $SP(N\_c)$ and $SO(N\_c)$ gauge theories. The $SP(N\_c)$ case involves matter $X$ in the antisymmetric tensor representation and $N\_f$ flavors of quarks $Q$ in the fundamental representation. The $SO(N\_c)$ case involves matter $X$ in the symmetric tensor representation and $N\_f$ flavors of quarks $Q$ in the vector representation of $SO(N\_c)$. Perturbing these theories by superpotentials $W(X)$, we find a variety of interesting RG fixed points with dual descriptions. The duality in these theories is similar to that found by Kutasov and by Kutasov and Schwimmer in $SU(N\_c)$ with adjoint $X$ and $N\_f$ quarks in the fundamental.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
