Adjoint QCD2 can exhibit supersymmetry at specific fermion masses
What the study found The study finds that a 1+1-dimensional SU(N) gauge theory with an adjoint Majorana fermion, called adjoint QCD2, exhibits supersymmetry when the fermion mass is set to a specific value. It also identifies related models in which a supersymmetric massive sector coexists with a non-supersymmetric conformal field theory (CFT, a theory describing…
Massive Type IIA solutions model monodromy defects in 5d and 6d theories
What the study found The study proposes massive Type IIA supergravity solutions as duals of co-dimension 2 monodromy defects in 6d (1,0) conformal field theories and in the 5d Sp(N) fixed point theory. It also reports evidence that, for 3d defects, the defect entanglement entropy can be written as a linear combination of the defect…
Bootstrap bounds constrain supersymmetric quantum mechanics
What the study found The study found that the quantum-mechanics bootstrap can be applied to supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSY QM) and to the Marinari-Parisi matrix model, producing rigorous bounds on ground-state data. In cases where supersymmetry is spontaneously broken, the bounds apply to the lowest-energy normalizable eigenstate. Why the authors say this matters The authors…
