Phases and triple(multiple) point: critical phenomena around the AD singularity (2411.10747v1)

Abstract: Continuing with our previous series of work, we present a case study of the critical phenomena around Argyres-Douglas singularity of ${\cal N} =2$ susy made at $(A_1, A_{4k-1} ), k =1, 2$ realized by one-unitary matrix model. We determine the phase diagram, which is recast into LEEA of $\mathcal{N}=2$, 4d gauge theory by the 0d-4d connection. There are three distinct phases, each corresponding to an eigenvalue distribution with 0, 1, and 2 gaps. These form an entire phase diagram with a triple point. Examining the behavior of the planar free energy, we show, among other things,that the transition line between 1- and 2-gap phases ending at the triple point is the $k=2$ multicritical one.
