Boundary confining dualities and Askey-Wilson type $q$-beta integrals

Abstract

We propose confining dualities of $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ half-BPS boundary conditions in 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric $SU(N)$, $USp(2n)$ and $SO(N)$ gauge theories. Some of these dualities have the novel feature that one (anti)fundamental chiral has Dirichlet boundary condition while the rest have Neumann boundary conditions. While some of the dualities can be extended to 3d bulk dualities, others should be understood intrinsically as 2d dualities as they seem to hold only at the boundary. The gauge theory Neumann half-indices are well-defined even for theories which contain monopole operators with non-positive scaling dimensions and they are given by Askey-Wilson type $q$-beta integrals. As a consequence of the confining dualities, new conjectural identities of such integrals are found.
