Infrared Stability of N=2 Chern-Simons Matter Theories

Understand

According to the AdS4/CFT3 correspondence, N=2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons matter theories should have a stable fixed point in the infrared.

• In order to support this prediction we study RG flows of two-level Chern-Simons matter theories with/without flavors induced by the most general marginal superpotential compatible with N=2 supersymmetry.
• At two loops we determine the complete spectrum of fixed points and study their IR stability.
• Our analysis covers a large class of models including perturbations of the ABJM/ABJ theories with and without flavors, N=2,3 theories with different CS levels corresponding to turning on a Romans mass and beta-deformations.
