Abstract
We study supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory coupled to an adjoint scalar superfield with a cubic superpotential containing a multi trace term. We show that the field theory results can be reproduced from a matrix model whose potential is given in terms of a linearized potential obtained from the gauge theory superpotential by adding some auxiliary non-dynamical field. Once we get the effective action from this matrix model we could integrate out the auxiliary field getting the correct field theory results.
