• Geometric constraints on the space of N=2 SCFTs I: physical constraints on relevant deformations (2015, background): “CBs of physically interesting theories are singular, and each singular point corresponds to a vacuum for which the theory contains additional massless states [3, 4] (for pedagogical reviews see [5, 6]).”
