Lagrangians for generalized Argyres-Douglas theories

TLDR
In this article, the Lagrangians of all the Argyres-Douglas models with Abelian three dimensional mirror were studied. But they were not shown to fit well on the Coulomb and Higgs branches of the CFT.
Abstract
We continue the study of Lagrangian descriptions of $$ \mathcal{N}=2 $$ Argyres-Douglas theories. We use our recent interpretation in terms of sequential confinement to guess the Lagrangians of all the Argyres-Douglas models with Abelian three dimensional mirror. We find classes of four dimensional $$ \mathcal{N}=1 $$ quivers that flow in the infrared to generalized Argyres-Douglas theories, such as the (A k , A kN +N −1) models. We study in detail how the $$ \mathcal{N}=1 $$ chiral rings map to the Coulomb and Higgs Branches of the $$ \mathcal{N}=2 $$ CFT’s. The three dimensional mirror RG flows are shown to land on the $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ complete graph quivers. We also compactify to three dimensions the gauge theory dual to (A 1, D 4), and find the expected Abelianization duality with $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ SQED with 3 flavors.

The exact superconformal R-symmetry maximizes a

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the superconformal R-symmetry of any 4d SCFT is exactly determined by a maximization principle: it is the R symmetry, among all possibilities, which (locally) maximizes the combination of 't Hooft anomalies atrial(R)≡(9TrR3−3TrR)/32.
