Superconformal Field Theories in 2, 3, and 4 dimensions Nikolay Bobev - KU Leuven |
||
| Summary
The goal of these lectures is to give an introduction to some topics in Superconformal Field Theories (SCFTs) in dimensions d = 3 and d = 4. I will also make some comments about d = 2. The topics I plan to discuss are 1. Introduction to supersymmetry and conformal symmetry 2. Elements of superconformal representation theory 3. The 3d N = 2 Wess-Zumino model 4. An introduction to supersymmetric localization for 3d N = 2 SCFTs: from F-maximization to holography 5. Conformal anomalies for 4d N = 1 SCFTs and a-maximization 6. Conformal anomalies for 2d N = (0; 2) SCFTs and c-extremization References M. J. Strassler, "An Unorthodox introduction to supersymmetric gauge theory," [arXiv:hep- th/0309149 [hep-th]]. C.
