Abstract
We study a landscape of four-dimensional 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 gauging of the flavor symmetry of a collection of N=2Dp(G) Argyres-Douglas SCFTs. In this work, we focus on the fixed points in the landscape of the SU(3) gauging of three copies of the D2(SU(3))=H2 theory together with an adjoint-valued chiral multiplet. We catalog the network of a=c fixed points, and, along the way, we find a variety of dualities and instances of supersymmetry enhancement. Published by the American Physical Society2025
