Description

Replacing the regular Lie groups in the coset construction of Goddard-Kent-Olive (GKO) with Lie supergroups yields conformal but non-unitary 2-dimensional QFTs. We extend previous studies of exactly marginal deformations in such superspace coset models to hermitian symmetric superspaces. In this case we obtain several families of N=2 superconformal field theories with continuously varying exponents.
