Abstract
We explore the space of renormalization group flows that originate from supersymmetric gauge theory with one adjoint and a pair of fundamental chiral multiplets. By considering all possible relevant deformations—including coupling to gauge-singlet chiral multiplets—we find 34 fixed points in this simple setup. We observe that theories in this class exhibit many novel phenomena: emergent symmetry, decoupling of operators, and narrow distribution of central charges . This set of theories includes two of the minimal Argyres-Douglas theories and their mass deformed versions. In addition, we find 36 candidate fixed point theories possessing unphysical fermionic operators—including one with central charges that are smaller than any known superconformal theory—that need further investigation.
