Probing integrable perturbations of conformal theories using singular vectors II: N=1 superconformal theories

چکیده
In this work we pursue the singular-vector analysis of the integrable perturbations of conformal theories that was initiated in [1]. Here we consider the detailed study of the N = 1 superconformal theory and show that all integrable perturbations can be identified from a simple singular-vector argument. We identify these perturbations as theories based on affine Lie superalgebras and show that the results we obtain relating two perturbations can be understood by the extension of affine Toda duality to these theories with fermions. We also discuss how this duality is broken in specific cases.

Probing integrable perturbations of conformal theories using singular vectors
It has been known for some time that the (1, 3) perturbations of the (2k + 1, 2) Virasoro minimal models have conserved currents which are also singular vectors of the Virasoro algebra. This also turns out to hold for the (1, 2) perturbation of the (3k± 1, 3) models. In this paper we investigate the requirement that a perturbation of an extended conformal field theory has conserved currents whi...
متن کاملIntegrable Supersymmetry Breaking Perturbations of N=1,2 Superconformal Minimal Models
We display a new integrable perturbation for both N=1 and N=2 superconformal minimal models. These perturbations break supersymmetry explicitly. Their existence was expected on the basis of the classification of integrable perturbations of conformal field theories in terms of distinct classical KdV type hierarchies sharing a common second Hamiltonian structure.
متن کاملBPS Structure of Argyres–Douglas Superconformal Theories
We study geometric engineering of Argyres–Douglas superconformal theories realized by type IIB strings propagating in singular Calabi–Yau threefolds. We use this construction to count the degeneracy of light BPS states under small perturbations away from the conformal point, by computing the degeneracy of D3–branes wrapped around supersym-metric 3–cycles in the Calabi–Yau. We find finitely many...
متن کاملS-matrices for Perturbed N=2 Superconformal Field Theory from Quantum Groups
S-matrices for integrable perturbations of N = 2 superconformal field theories are studied. The models we consider correspond to perturbations of the coset theory G k × H g−h /H k+g−h. The perturbed models are closely related tô G-affine Toda theories with a background charge tuned to H. Using the quantum group restriction of the affine Toda theories we derive the S-matrix. Over the past few ye...
متن کاملOperator Algebra of the SL(2) conformal field theories
Structure constants of Operator Algebras for the SL(2) degenerate conformal field theories are calculated. LANDAU-95-TMP-1 hep-th/9504082 Since the seminal work of Belavin, Polyakov and Zamolodchikov [1], there has been much progress in understanding two-dimensional conformal field theories. It is essential to compute the structure constants of Operator Algebra of such theories. In fact, it was...
