Abstract

We construct several examples of (2+1) dimensional = 2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theories, whose moduli space is given by non-compact toric Calabi-Yau four-folds, which are not derivable from any (3+1) dimensional CFT. One such example is the gauge theory associated with the cone over Q111. For several examples, we explicitly confirm the matter content, superpotential interactions and RG flows suggested by crystal models. Our results provide additional support to the idea that crystal models are relevant for describing the structure of these CFTs.
