The Hilbert Series and the Flavor Invariants of the 3HDM

We perform a systematic study of invariant operators in the three-Higgs-doublet model (3HDM). We compute the closed-form multigraded Hilbert series associated with the global symmetry group of the theory. In addition, we construct explicit expressions for the corresponding invariant operators up to cubic order in the couplings. As a phenomenological application, we further organize the invariants up to quadratic order in the field content into CP-even and CP-odd combinations. For the special case of invariants involving no $\mathbf{27}$ representations, our results are complete to all orders.

The Potency of Nilpotence

The dynamics of $\mathcal{N}=1$ SUSY gauge theories with matter in adjoint and fundamental representations and the superpotentials given by Arnold's ADE singularities has been extensively studied in the literature. It was also conjectured that supersymmetric models with $W_{A_k}$, $W_{D_{k+2}}$ and $W_{E_7}$ superpotentials possess a dual description. In this paper we revisit the analysis of the moduli space of $A_k$ and $D_{k+2}$ models by considering the duality along nilpotent directions on the moduli space. While our analysis provides additional evidence for the duality conjecture in $W_{A_k}$ models, we show that the duality conjecture fails for the $W_{D_{k+2}}$ models.
