Lagrangians for generalized Argyres-Douglas theories

High Energy Physics - Theory 2017-11-22 v2

Abstract

We continue the study of Lagrangian descriptions of N=2\mathcal{N}=2 Argyres-Douglas theories. We use our recent interpretation in terms of sequential confinement to guess the Lagrangians of all the Argyres-Douglas models with Abelian three dimensional mirror. We find classes of four dimensional N=1\mathcal{N}=1 quivers that flow in the infrared to generalized Argyres-Douglas theories, such as the (Ak,AkN+N1)(A_k,A_{kN+N-1}) models. We study in detail how the N=1\mathcal{N}=1 chiral rings map to the Coulomb and Higgs Branches of the N=2\mathcal{N}=2 CFT's. The three dimensional mirror RG flows are shown to land on the N=4\mathcal{N}=4 complete graph quivers. We also compactify to three dimensions the gauge theory dual to (A1,D4)(A_1,D_4), and find the expected Abelianization duality with N=4\mathcal{N}=4 SQED with 33 flavors.
