Operator Product Expansions in Four - dimensional Superconformal Field Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
The operator product expansion in four-dimensional superconformal field theory is discussed. It is demonstrated that the OPE takes a particularly simple form for certain classes of operators. These are chiral operators, principally of interest in theories with N = 1 or N = 2 supersymmetry, and analytic operators, of interest in N = 2 and N = 4. It is argued that the Green's functions of such operators can be determined up to constants.

New 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...
متن کاملSuperconformal Symmetry in Four Dimensional Quantum Field Theory
The implications of N = 1 superconformal symmetry for four dimensional quantum field theories are studied. Superconformal covariant expressions for two and three point functions of quasi-primary superfields of arbitrary spin are found and connected with the operator product expansion. The general formulae are specialised to cases involving a scalar superfield L, which contains global symmetry c...

Classification of N = 4 superconformal symmetries in two dimensions is reexamined. It is proposed that apart from SU(2) and SU(2)×SU(2)×U(1) their Kac-Moody symmetry can also be SU(2) × (U(1)) 4. These supercon-formal symmetries and corresponding algebras are named small, large and middle ones respectively. Operator product expansions for the middle algebra are derived. Complete free field real...

We derive general bounds on operator dimensions, central charges, and OPE coefficients in 4D conformal andN = 1 superconformal field theories. In any CFT containing a scalar primary φ of dimension d we show that crossing symmetry of 〈φφφφ〉 implies a completely general lower bound on the central charge c ≥ fc(d). Similarly, in CFTs containing a complex scalar charged under global symmetries, we ...
