Abstract: (Elsevier)

We consider superconformal field theories with central charge c ̂ = 2 3 c = 1 . We find five continuous one-parameter families of theories all interconnected via a set of four multicritical points that are reached by modding out theories with enlarged symmetries. We find as well six theories that have no integrable marginal operators and thus constitute isolated points of superconformal invariance in the c ̂ = 1 moduli space. We briefly discuss c = 3 2 conformal theories that contain a twisted superconformal algebra, including three isolated theories with a twisted N = 3 superconformal algebra, and theories constructed as the tensor product of the c = 4 5 and c = 7 10 minimal theories.
