چکیده
We study the highest-weight representation ofN = 2 supersymmetric Schrödinger algebra which appears in non-relativistic superconformal field theories in (1+2) dimension. We define the index for the non-relativistic superconformal field theories and study its properties. As a concrete example, we compute the index for the nonrelativistic limit of N = 6 superconformal Chern-Simons-matter theory recently proposed by Aharony et al.

An Index for Non-relativistic Superconformal Field Theories
We study the highest-weight representation ofN = 2 supersymmetric Schrödinger algebra which appears in non-relativistic superconformal field theories in (1+2) dimension. We define the index for the non-relativistic superconformal field theories and study its properties.

متن کامل- 04 / A 015 EFI - 04 - 10 An Index for 2 D field theories with large N = 4 superconformal symmetry
We consider families of theories with large N = 4 superconformal symmetry. We define an index generalizing the elliptic genus of theories with N = 2 symmetry. In contrast to the N = 2 case, the new index constrains part of the non-BPS spectrum. Motivated by aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence we study the index in the examples of symmetric product theories. We give a physical interpretation o...

متن کامل2 d Index and Surface operators
In this paper we compute the superconformal index of 2d (2, 2) supersymmetric gauge theories. The 2d superconformal index, a.k.a. flavored elliptic genus, is computed by a unitary matrix integral much like the matrix integral that computes 4d superconformal index. We compute the 2d index explicitly for a number of examples. In the case of abelian gauge theories we see that the index is invarian...
متن کاملNew Superconformal Field Theories in Four Dimensions and N = 1 Duality
Recently, developments in the understanding of low-energy N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory have revealed two important phenomena: the appearance of new four-dimensional superconformal field theories and a non-Abelian generalization of electric-magnetic duality at the IR fixed point. This report is a pedagogical introduction to these phenomena. After presenting some necessary background materia...
