The Most General 4D4\mathcal{D} N=1\mathcal{N}=1 Superconformal Blocks for Scalar Operators

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We compute the most general superconformal blocks for scalar operators in 4D4\mathcal{D} N=1\mathcal{N}=1 superconformal field theories. Specifically we employ the supershadow formalism to study the four-point correlator ⟨Φ1Φ2Φ3Φ4⟩\langleΦ_1 Φ_2 Φ_3 Φ_4\rangle, in which the four scalars ΦiΦ_i have arbitrary scaling dimensions and R-charges with the only constraint from R-symmetry invariance of the four-point function. The exchanged operators can have arbitrary R-charges. Our results extend previous studies on 4D4\mathcal{D} N=1\mathcal{N}=1 superconmformal blocks to the most general case, which are the essential ingredient for superconformal bootstrap, especially for bootstrapping mixed correlators of scalars with independent scaling dimensions and R-charges.
