We map out and explore the zoo of possible 4d N=1 superconformal theories which are obtained as RG fixed points of N=1 SQCD with N_f fundamental and N_a adjoint matter representations. Using "a-maximization," we obtain exact operator dimensions at all RG fixed points and classify all relevant, Landau-Ginzburg type, adjoint superpotential deformations. Such deformations can be used to RG flow to new SCFTs, which are then similarly analyzed. Remarkably, the resulting 4d SCFT classification coincides with Arnold's ADE singularity classification. The exact superconformal R-charge and the central charge a are computed for all of these theories. RG flows between the different fixed points are analyzed, and all flows are verified to be compatible with the conjectured a-theorem.

Discussion (0). Continue with ORCID to comment.

    New 3d dualities are obtained by T-duality reduction of 4d mezzanine and balcony models, with partition function matching after double scaling limit and a proof of required confining dualities via tensor deconfinement.

    Starting from an SU(3) gauging of three D2(SU(3)) Argyres-Douglas theories with an adjoint chiral multiplet, the authors map the tree of relevant deformations that preserve a=c and find 21 fixed points, including flow...
