Soft supersymmetry breaking of 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFT

Abstract

A classification of soft SUSY breaking deformation of general four dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFT is provided. Given the large class of newly discovered $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs and their known properties such as the central charges and full information of BPS operators, it is possible to get a huge number of new $\mathcal{N}=1$ SCFTs and non-supersymmetric CFTs. Many properties of these new $\mathcal{N}=1$ SCFTs such as central charges, chiral spectrum and Seiberg duality can be derived from known information of parent $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFT.
