Decoding a three-dimensional conformal manifold

Abstract We study the one-dimensional complex conformal manifold that controls the infrared dynamics of a three-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 supersymmetric theory of three chiral superfields with a cubic superpotential. Two special points on this conformal manifold are the well-known XYZ mode...

description Abstract We study the one-dimensional complex conformal manifold that controls the infrared dynamics of a three-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 supersymmetric theory of three chiral superfields with a cubic superpotential. Two special points on this conformal manifold are the well-known XYZ model and three decoupled copies of the critical Wess-Zumino model. The conformal manifold enjoys a discrete duality group isomorphic to S 4 and can be thought of as an orbifold of CP 1. We use the 4 − ε expansion and the numerical conformal bootstrap to calculate the spectrum of conformal dimensions of low-lying operators and their OPE coefficients, and find a very good quantitative agreement between the two approaches.
