We discuss, and propose a solution for, a still unresolved problem regarding the breaking from = 2 super-QCD to = 1 super-QCD. A mass term W = μTrΦ2/2 for the adjoint field, which classically does the required breaking perfectly, quantum mechanically leads to a relevant operator that, in the infrared, makes the theory flow away from pure = 1 SQCD. To avoid this problem, we first need to extend the theory from SU(nc) to U(nc). We then look for the quantum generalization of the condition W'(m) = 0, that is, the coincidence between a root of the derivative of the superpotential W(ϕ) and the mass m of the quarks. There are 2nc−nf of such points in the moduli space. We suggest that with an opportune choice of superpotential, that selects one of these coincidence vacua in the moduli space, it is possible to flow from = 2 SQCD to = 1 SQCD. Various arguments support this claim. In particular, we shall determine the exact location in the moduli space of these coincidence vacua and the precise factorization of the SW curve.
