Abstract

We search for infrared fixed points of Gross-Neveu Yukawa models with matrix degrees of freedom in d=4εd=4-\varepsilon. We consider three models -- a model with SU(N)SU(N) symmetry in which the scalar and fermionic fields both transform in the adjoint representation, a model with SO(N)SO(N) symmetry in which the scalar and fermion fields both transform as real symmetric-traceless matrices, and a model with SO(N)SO(N) symmetry in which the scalar field transforms as a real symmetric-traceless matrix, while the fermion transforms in the adjoint representation. These models differ at finite NN, but their large-NN limits are perturbatively equivalent. The first two models contain a supersymmetric fixed point for all NN, which is attractive to all classically-marginal deformations for NN sufficiently large. The third model possesses a stable fixed point that, although non-supersymmetric, gives rise to many correlation functions that are identical to those of a supersymmetric fixed point when NN is sufficiently large. We also find several non-supersymmetric fixed points at finite and large-NN. Planar diagrams dominate the large-NN limit of these fixed points, which suggests the possibility of a stringy holographic dual description.
