Abstract

We study a landscape of four-dimensional N=1\mathcal{N}=1 superconformal field theories (SCFTs) with identical central charges. These theories are obtained by renormalization group flows triggered by supersymmetry-preserving superpotential deformations of the N=1\mathcal{N}=1 gauging of the flavor symmetry of a collection of N=2\mathcal{N}=2 Dp(G)\mathcal{D}_p(G) Argyres--Douglas SCFTs. In this work, we focus on the fixed points in the landscape of the SU(3)SU(3) gauging of three copies of the D2(SU(3))=H2\mathcal{D}_2(SU(3)) = H_2 theory together with an adjoint-valued chiral multiplet. We catalogue the network of a=ca = c fixed points, and, along the way, we find a variety of dualities and instances of supersymmetry enhancement.
