On the trace anomaly of Chaudhuri-Choi-Rabinovici model

Abstract

Recently a non-supersymmetric conformal field theory with an exactly marginal deformation in the large $N$ limit was constructed by Chaudhuri-Choi-Rabinovici. On a non-supersymmetric conformal manifold, $c$ coefficient of the trace anomaly in four dimensions would generically change. In this model, we, however, find that it does not change at the first non-trivial order given by three-loop diagrams.
