Two loop Kähler potential in β-deformed Script N = 4 SYM theory

In Script N = 2 superconformal field theories the Kähler potential is known to be tree level exact. The β-deformation of Script N = 4 SU(N) SYM reduces the amount of supersymmetry to Script N = 1, allowing for non-trivial, superconformal loop corrections to the Kähler potential. We analyse the two-loop corrections on the Coulomb branch for a complex deformation. For an arbitrary chiral field in the Cartan subalgebra we reduce the problem of computing the two-loop Kähler potential to that of diagonalising the mass matrix, we then present the result in a manifestly superconformal form. The mass matrix diagonalisation is performed for the case of the chiral background that induces the breaking pattern SU(N) → SU(N−2) × U(1)2. Then, for the gauge group SU(3), the Kähler potential is explicitly computed to the two-loop order.
