Abstract:
We explore the space of renormalization group flows that originate from supersymmetric N=1 SU(2) 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 a/c. This set of theories includes two of the N=2 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 (a,c)≃(0.20,0.22) that are smaller than any known superconformal theory-that need further investigation.

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.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
