Supersymmetric field theories in quantum mechanics (81T60)

Abstract: We investigate options for the structure of the infrared fixed points of $mathcalN=4$ bad theories in three dimensions. Unitarity constraints allow a number of possibilities, not necessarily a product of an interacting $mathcalN=4$ SCFT and free theories. For each option we provide relations between the UV and IR $R-$symmetry groups. For some of them we give examples. In particular, the $mathcalN4$ SU(2) SYM with two fundamental hypermultiplets is an example of a bad theory which flows to an interacting irreducible SCFT in the IR. The question of whether all the options are realized remains open.
