Emergent Supersymmetry in the Marginal Deformations of N=4 SYM

Abstract

We study the one loop renormalization group flow of the marginal deformations of 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.
