17 Summary For a number of families of N p0, 2q LG models we found explicit descritption of the N p0, 2q SCFT at the IR fixed point in terms of (KS) WZW cosets. To determine the IR CFT we use RG protected quantities (BPS spectrum and anomalies) as well as modular invariance In particular we give explicit expression of the full partition function of the IR CFT (which is not a supersymetric partition function, it could not be computed by localization) 17 / 17
