Description
We classify 4D N=1 truly confining supersymmetric gauge theories, in which no center charges can be screened. This property guarantees that Wilson loops in the fundamental representation exhibit an area law. We systematically identify all such theories for simple Lie groups and determine the allowed matter content. In each theory, we find condensing magnetic operators, which are expected to explain confinement via the dual Meissner effect. We also analyze the non-SUSY versions of truly confining gauge theories and identify stable vacua that indicate confinement via the dual Meissner effect.
