Title: Emergent supersymmetry in the marginal deformations of $$\mathcal{N}=4$$ SYM

Abstract

Here, we study the one loop renormalization group flow of the marginal deformations of $$\mathcal{N}=4$$ SYM theory using the a-function. We found that in the planar limit some non-supersymmetric deformations flow to the supersymmetric infrared fixed points described by the Leigh-Strassler theory. This means supersymmetry emerges as a result of renormalization group flow.

Giant gravitons and the emergence of geometric limits in β-deformations of $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ SYM

Journal Article Berenstein, David ; Dzienkowski, Eric - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We study a one parameter family of supersymmetric marginal deformations of N = 4 SYM with U(1)³ symmetry, known as β-deformations, to understand their dual AdS × X geometry, where X is a large classical geometry in the g YM ² N → ∞ limit. We argue that we can determine whether or not X is geometric by studying the spectrum of open strings between giant gravitons states, as represented by operators in the field theory, as we take N → ∞ in certain double scaling limits. We study the conditions under which these open strings can give rise tomore »« less

$$ \mathcal{N}=1 $$ deformations and RG flows of $$ \mathcal{N}=2 $$ SCFTs

Journal Article Maruyoshi, Kazunobu ; Song, Jaewon - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We study certain N=1 preserving deformations of four-dimensional N=2 superconformal field theories (SCFTs) with non-abelian flavor symmetry. The deformation is described by adding an N=1 chiral multiplet transforming in the adjoint representation of the flavor symmetry with a superpotential coupling, and giving a nilpotent vacuum expectation value to the chiral multiplet which breaks the flavor symmetry. This triggers a renormalization group flow to an infrared SCFT. Remarkably, we find classes of theories flow to enhanced N=2 supersymmetric fixed points in the infrared under the deformation. They include generalized Argyres-Douglas theories and rank-one SCFTs with non-abelian flavor symmetries. Most notably, wemore »« less

Exact correlators on the Wilson loop in $$$$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$$$ SYM: localization, defect CFT, and integrability

Journal Article Giombi, Simone ; Komatsu, Shota - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We compute a set of correlation functions of operator insertions on the 1/8 BPS Wilson loop in N=4 SYM by employing supersymmetric localization, OPE and the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization. These correlators exhibit a simple determinant structure, are position-independent and form a topological subsector, but depend nontrivially on the ’t Hooft coupling and the rank of the gauge group. When applied to the 1/2 BPS circular (or straight) Wilson loop, our results provide an infinite family of exact defect CFT data, including the structure constants of protected defect primaries of arbitrary length inserted on the loop. At strong coupling, we show precisemore »« less

BPS Wilson loop in $$\mathcal{N}$$ = 2 superconformal SU(N) “orientifold” gauge theory and weak-strong coupling interpolation

Journal Article Beccaria, M. ; Dunne, G. V. ; Tseytlin, A. A. - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We consider the expectation value $ \left\langle \mathcal{W}\right\rangle $ of the circular BPS Wilson loop in $ \mathcal{N} $ = 2 superconformal SU(N) gauge theory containing a vector multiplet coupled to two hypermultiplets in rank-2 symmetric and antisymmetric representations. This theory admits a regular large N expansion, is planar-equivalent to $ \mathcal{N} $ = 4 SYM theory and is expected to be dual to a certain orbifold/orientifold projection of AdS₅ × S⁵ superstring theory. On the string theory side $ \left\langle \mathcal{W}\right\rangle $ is represented by the path integral expanded near the same AdS₂ minimal surface as in the maximallymore »« less
