A landscape of 4d N=1 SCFTs with a=c

Abstract

We study a landscape of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) with identical central charges. These theories are obtained by renormalization group flows triggered by supersymmetry-preserving superpotential deformations of the $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauging of the flavor symmetry of a collection of $\mathcal{N}=2$ ${\mathcal{D}}_p(G)$ Argyres--Douglas SCFTs. In this work, we focus on the fixed points in the landscape of the $SU(3)$ gauging of three copies of the ${\mathcal{D}}_2(SU(3))=H_2$ theory together with an adjoint-valued chiral multiplet. We catalogue the network of $a=c$ fixed points, and, along the way, we find a variety of dualities and instances of supersymmetry enhancement.
