Abstract:

Argyres-Douglas (AD) theories constitute an infinite class of superconformal field theories in 4d with a number of interesting properties. A distinctive feature of these theories is the presence of Coulomb branch operators of fractional dimension. In this talk, we discuss several new aspects of such theories, including conformal manifolds, structures of the Higgs branch, as well as the 3d gauge theories coming from dimensional reduction on a circle.
