Correlators of the Global Symmetry Currents of 4D and 6D Superconformal Theories

چکیده
We study the two-point correlators of the currents of the E8 global symmetry in the N = (1, 0) superconformal six-dimensional theory as well as in the 4D superconformal theories upon toroidal compactification. From the high-energy behavior of the correlator we deduce that in 4D 10 copies of the superconformal theory with E8 global symmetry can be coupled to an N = 2 E8 gauge theory. We present three alternative derivations for the expression for the correlators. One from field-theory, one from M-theory and one from F-theory.

متن کاملChiral Compactifications of 6D Conformal Theories
We construct chiral N = 1 gauge theories in 4D by compactifying the 6D BlumIntriligator (1, 0) theories of 5-branes at Ak singularities on T 2 with a nontrivial bundle of the global U(1) symmetry of these theories. [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
متن کاملCurrent Correlators and AdS/CFT Geometry
We consider current-current correlators in 4d N = 1 SCFTs, and also 3d N = 2 SCFTs, in connection with AdS/CFT geometry. The superconformal U(1)R symmetry of the SCFT has the distinguishing property that, among all possibilities, it minimizes the coefficient, τRR of its two-point function. We show that the geometric Z-minimization condition of Martelli, Sparks, and Yau precisely implements τRR ...
متن کاملVanishing superconformal indices and the chiral symmetry breaking
Superconformal indices of 4d N = 1 SYM theories with SU(N) and SP (2N) gauge groups are investigated for Nf = N and Nf = N + 1 flavors, respectively. These indices vanish for generic values of the flavor fugacities. However, for a singular submanifold of fugacities they behave like the Dirac delta functions and describe the chiral symmetry breaking phenomenon. Similar picture holds for partitio...

We derive general bounds on operator dimensions, central charges, and OPE coefficients in 4D conformal andN = 1 superconformal field theories. In any CFT containing a scalar primary φ of dimension d we show that crossing symmetry of 〈φφφφ〉 implies a completely general lower bound on the central charge c ≥ fc(d). Similarly, in CFTs containing a complex scalar charged under global symmetries, we ...
