Dynamical Description of Spectral Flow in N = 2 Superconformal Field Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
We show how the spectral flow between the Neveu-Schwarz and Ramond sectors of N = 2 superconformal field theories can be described in three dimensions in terms of the propagation of charged particles coupled to a a ChernSimons gauge theory. Quantum mechanical mixing between the degenerate Chern-Simons vacua interpolates between the different boundary conditions of the two sectors and so provides a dynamical picture for the gso-projection.

New N=1 Superconformal Field Theories and Their Supergravity Description
In this note we construct a new class of superconformal field theories as mass deformed N = 4 super Yang-Mills theories. We will argue that these theories correspond to the fixed points which were recently found [1] studying the deformations of the dual IIB string theory on AdS5 × S . ∗[email protected] ∗2 [email protected] ∗[email protected]
متن کاملBPS spectrum of Argyres-Douglas theory via spectral network
We study the BPS spectrum of four-dimensional N = 2 superconformal field theory of Argyres-Douglas type, obtained via twisted compactification of six-dimensional AN−1 (2, 0) theory on a sphere with an irregular puncture, by using spectral networks. We give strong evidence of the equivalence of N = 2 superconformal field theories from sixdimensional theories of different ranks by systematically ...

متن کاملSpectral Flow and Feigin-Fuks Parameter Space of N=4 Superconformal Algebras
The parameter space of the Feigin-Fuks representations of the N=4 SU(2)k superconformal algebras is studied from the viewpoint of the specral flow. The η phase of the spectral flow is nicely incorporated through twisted fermions and the spectral flow resulting from the inner automorphism of the N=4 superconformal algebras is explicitly shown to be operating as identiy relations among the genera...
متن کاملIIB Duals of D = 3 N = 4 Circular Quivers
We construct the type-IIB AdS4nK supergravity solutions which are dual to the three-dimensional N = 4 superconformal field theories that arise as infrared fixed points of circular-quiver gauge theories. These superconformal field theories are labeled by a triple (ρ, ρ̂, L) subject to constraints, where ρ and ρ̂ are two partitions of a number N , and L is a positive integer. We show that in the li...
