A bstract This work studies domain walls between chirally-separated vacua in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (SYM) on ℝ 3 × 𝕊 1 in the semiclassical limit. For all gauge groups we explicitly find the electric fluxes of all BPS domain walls and fully characterize the representation that they form un...
