Fortuity and relevant deformation
Abstract
We investigate the supercharge cohomology of an relevant deformation of super Yang-Mills. By introducing a field redefinition, we integrate out massive fields in a cohomological sense. Then, we construct the monotone cohomologies corresponding to the Kaluza-Klein particles of the dual supergravity solution. Some of the monotone cohomologies obey stringy exclusion principle analogous to that of . Relatedly, they vanish on the diagonal field configurations, unlike monotone cohomologies. We also construct infinitely many fortuitous cohomologies for gauge group SU(2). We find that unlike fortuitous cohomologies, they can either be non-vanishing or vanishing on the diagonal fields. By undoing the field redefinition and taking a suitable UV limit, we show that non-vanishing ones reduce to monotone cohomologies of SYM, while vanishing ones reduce to fortuitous cohomologies of SYM. This implies that the fortuity can arise due to the relevant deformation, while monotonicity is not.
