ABSTRACT: The method of Dijkgraaf and Vafa (DV) provides a powerful way to study supersymmetric gauge theories.ハ It was found that for Sp(N) theory with antisymmetric tensor a straightforward application of the DV method leads to a superpotential that disagrees with the one obtained by standard methods.ハ By considering string theory realization, we clarify the prescription regarding when to include a glueball field as the physical field, and when to not.ハ In particular, this prescription resolves the discrepancy found in the Sp(N) theory.ハ Furthermore, we generalize the prescription to include flavors and demonstrate that the matrix model computations with the generalized prescription correctly reproduce the gauge theory results.
