Konishi lifts a black hole
Abstract
We investigate the quantum cohomology of a supercharge Q in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. Recent analyses have revealed a mismatch between the one-loop BPS spectra of the S-dual SO(7) and Sp(3) theories. The SO(7) theory contains a pair of additional graviton (monotone) and non-graviton (fortuitous) cohomologies, whose net contributions cancel in the superconformal index. We show that the quantum-corrected Q, inferred from the generalized Konishi anomaly, pairs and lifts these extra cohomologies.
