Supersymmetric gauge theories with decoupled operators and chiral ring stability
S Benvenuti, S Giacomelli - Physical Review Letters, 2017 - APS
We propose a general way to complete supersymmetric theories with operators below the
unitarity bound, adding gauge-singlet fields that enforce the decoupling of such operators …
