Relevant deformations and c-extremization

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider RG flows obtained by a relevant deformation from unitary and compact two-dimensional (0,2) SCFTs. We point out that an N=2 super-Kac-Moody algebra present in the UV is preserved by the flow and does not mix with the R-current. On the other hand, a direct sum of N=2 algebras in the UV theory leads to a few complications in determining the IR R-symmetry; nevertheless, in flows without accidental IR symmetries, we determine the IR R-symmetry and show that it maximizes the IR central charge.
