A new rank-2 Argyres-Douglas theory

Abstract

We provide evidence for the existence of a new strongly-coupled four dimensional N=2\mathcal{N}=2 superconformal field theory arising as a non-trivial IR fixed point on the Coulomb branch of the mass-deformed superconformal Lagrangian theory with gauge group G2G_2 and four fundamental hypermultiplets. Notably, our analysis proceeds by using various geometric constraints to bootstrap the data of the theory, and makes no explicit reference to the Seiberg-Witten curve. We conjecture a corresponding VOA and check that the vacuum character satisfies a linear modular differential equation of fourth order. We also propose an identification with existing class S\mathcal{S} constructions.
