3d SUSY enhancement and non-semisimple TQFTs from four dimensions
Abstract
It has been recently shown that the celebrated SCFT/VOA correspondence can be bridged via three-dimensional field theories arising from a specific R-symmetry twisted circle reduction. We apply this twisted reduction to the and families of 4d Argyres-Douglas SCFTs using their Agarwal-Maruyoshi-Song Lagrangians. From we derive the Gang-Kim-Stubbs family of 3d gauge theories with SUSY enhancement to in the infrared, generalizing a recent derivation made in the special cases . Topological twists of these theories are known to yield TQFTs supporting VOAs on holomorphic boundaries. From , , and , we obtain three new infinite families of 3d abelian gauge theories, all with monopole superpotentials, flowing to SCFTs without Coulomb branch, but with the same non-trivial Higgs branch as the four-dimensional parent. Their topological A-twist yields - TQFTs related to VOAs such as .
