1108.4963 (Takeshi Morita et al.)

F-theorem, duality and SUSY breaking in one-adjoint Chern-Simons-Matter
theories
   [PDF]

Takeshi Morita, Vasilis Niarchos
We extend previous work on N=2 Chern-Simons theories coupled to a single
adjoint chiral superfield using localization techniques and the F-maximization
principle. We provide tests of a series of proposed 3D Seiberg dualities and a
new class of tests of the conjectured F-theorem. In addition, a proposal is
made for a modification of the F-maximization principle that takes into account
the effects of decoupling fields. Finally, we formulate and provide evidence
for a new general non-perturbative constraint on spontaneous supersymmetry
breaking in three dimensions based on Q-deformed S^3 partition functions. An
explicit illustration based on the known analytic solution of the Chern-Simons
matrix model is presented.
