Dimensionally Reducing Generalized Symmetries from (3+1)-Dimensions

Regular Seminar Gabi au:Zafrir'><span class='hl'>Gabi</span> Zafrir (University of Haifa)

at:
14:00 IC
room H503
abstract:

Recently there has been a renewed interest in the subject of novel types of symmetries, now known as generalized symmetries. An interesting question is what happens to these more general symmetry structures upon compactification to lower dimensions. In this talk, we shall explore this in the context of the compactification of 4d N=1 SCFTs to 2d on spheres.

An N=1 Lagrangian for an N=3 SCFT

Regular Seminar Gabi au:Zafrir'><span class='hl'>Gabi</span> Zafrir (Milan Bicocca U.)

at:
13:45 KCL
room Zoom
abstract:

Purely N=3 SCFTs are naturally strongly coupled, and expected to not have a Lagrangian description manifesting their N=3 supersymmetry. However, these may be reached through a deformation of a theory preserving less supersymmetry. We shall present a strategy to try to conjecture such models, and exemplify it by presenting an N=1 model conjectured to flow to an N=3 SCFT, deformed by a marginal deformation. We shall also discuss and exemplify how such proposals can be tested. [For the Zoom link please email to alejandro.cabo_bizet@kcl.ac.uk]
