Abstract:
We discuss a candidate for a minimal interacting four-dimensional N=1 superconformal field theory. The model contains a chiral primary operator u satisfying the chiral ring relation u^{2}=0, and its scaling dimension is Δ(u)=1.5. The model is derived by turning on a N=1 preserving deformation of N=2 A_{2} Argyres-Douglas theory. The central charges are given by (a,c)=(263/768,271/768)≃(0.342,0.353). There is no moduli space of vacua, no flavor symmetry, and the chiral ring is finite.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
