Abstract

We study chiral rings of 4d mathcal{N} = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories via the notion of K-stability. We show that when using Hilbert series to perform the computations of Futaki invariants, it is not enough to only include the test symmetry information in the former’s denominator. We discuss a way to modify the numerator so that K-stability can be correctly determined, and a rescaling method is also applied to simplify the calculations involving test configurations. All of these are illustrated with a host of examples, by considering vacuum moduli spaces of various theories. Using Gröbner basis and plethystic techniques, many non-complete intersections can also be addressed, thus expanding the list of known theories in the literature.

Highlights

  • Original ring.1 It was argued in [1] that this is equivalent to the concept of K-stability.2 In [2, 3], for a polarized ring with symmetry/Reeb vector field ζ, K-stability is determined via perturbing the ring by a test symmetry η for some symmetry η and small

Summary

Chiral rings of supersymmetric gauge theories

We shall focus on the chiral rings of (3+1)-dimensional SCFT [9,10,11] for whose supersymmetry we will write in N = 1 language. The above should be compared and contrasted with the calculation of the classical vacuum moduli space (VMS), which is the GIT quotient of J by the complexified gauge group [13]. This is done by considering the minimal set of gauge invariant operators (GIOs) Gj in the theory, each being a single-trace operator, and a polynomial in the φi. In [17], it was shown that all the classical VMSs are affine Calabi-Yau (Gorenstein) singularities
