  1. We present exact results in softly broken supersymmetric SU ( N C ) chiral gauge theories with charged fermions in one antisymmetric, N F fundamental, and N C + N F 4 antifundamental representations. We achieve this by considering the supersymmetric version of these theories and utilizing anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking at a scale m Λ to generate a vacuum. The connection to nonsupersymmetric theories is then conjectured in the limit m . For odd N C , we determine the massless fermions and unbroken global symmetries in the infrared. For even N C , we find global symmetries are nonanomalous and no massless fermions. In all cases, the symmetry breaking patterns differ from what the tumbling hypothesis would suggest.
