Description
We discuss a possibility that a superconformal dynamics induces the emergence of a global symmetry to solve the strong CP problem through the axion. Fields spontaneously breaking the symmetry couple to new quarks charged under the ordinary color and a new gauge group. The theory flows into an IR fixed point where the breaking fields hold a large anomalous dimension leading to the suppression of -violating higher dimensional operators. The spontaneous breaking of the makes the new quarks massive. The symmetry is anomalous under the but not under the so that the axion couples to only the color and the usual axion potential is generated. We also comment on a model that the breaking fields are realized as meson superfields in a new supersymmetric QCD.
