On Renormalization Group Flows and Exactly Marginal Operators in Three   Dimensions
  As in two and four dimensions, supersymmetric conformal field theories in three dimensions can have exactly marginal operators. These are illustrated in a number of examples with N=4 and N=2 supersymmetry. The N=2 theory of three chiral multiplets X,Y,Z and superpotential W=XYZ has an exactly marginal operator; N=2 U(1) with one electron, which is mirror to this theory, has one also. Many N=4 fixed points with superpotentials W \sim Phi Q_i \tilde Q^i have exactly marginal deformations consisting of a combination of Phi^2 and (Q_i \tilde Q^i)^2. However, N=4 U(1) with one electron does not; in fact the operator Phi^2 is marginally irrelevant. The situation in non-abelian theories is similar. The relation of the marginal operators to brane rotations is briefly discussed; this is particularly simple for self-dual examples where the precise form of the marginal operator may be guessed using mirror symmetry.
