Title: Invariants and correlators in 4d SCFTs
Time: 3:30 PM, Friday, 29th November, 2024
Location: Emmy Noether Lecture Hall
Abstract: We use auxiliary polarization spinors and the superinversion transformation, along with superspace methods to construct super conformally invariant structures in 4d N=1 SCFTs. These invariants are used to express general 3-point correlators of symmetric traceless superfield operators in terms of a few unknown coefficients. Since these invariant structures have a definite parity, they amount to parity-even as well as parity-violating contributions to the SCFT correlators. We also impose the conservation (shortening) condition on the operators to restrict the form of 3-point correlators of supercurrents. This talk is based on our recent work [2411.01903].
