IR Free or Interacting? A Proposed Diagnostic
Kenneth Intriligator
We present and discuss a conjectured criterion for determining whether a 4d quantum field theory is IR free, or flows to an interacting conformal field theory in the infrared: ``th…
Current Correlators and AdS/CFT Geometry
Edwin Barnes, Elie Gorbatov, Ken Intriligator +1
We consider current-current correlators in 4d SCFTs, and also 3d SCFTs, in connection with AdS/CFT geometry. The superconformal symmetry of the SCFT has th…
The Exact Superconformal R-symmetry Minimizes
Edwin Barnes, Elie Gorbatov, Ken Intriligator +2
We present a new, general constraint which, in principle, determines the superconformal symmetry of 4d SCFTs, and also 3d SCFTs. Among all possibilities, t…
N=1 RG Flows, Product Groups, and a-Maximization
Edwin Barnes, Ken Intriligator, Brian Wecht +1
We explore new IR phenomena and dualities, arising for product groups, in the context of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories. The RG running of the multiple couplings can radically a…
