Breaking bad theories of class

Riccardo Comi, Sebastiano Garavaglia, Simone Giacomelli +2

We study weakly-coupled descriptions/channel decompositions of the 4d theories of class of type , from the perspective of the 3d $\m…

A Chiral-Planar dualization algorithm for 3d Chern-Simons-matter theories

Sergio Benvenuti, Riccardo Comi, Sara Pasquetti +3

We show that a broad class of three-dimensional chiral Chern-Simons gauge theories admit an abelian and planar dual description. These chiral-planar dualities emerg…

Planar Abelian Duals of Chern-Simons QCD

Sergio Benvenuti, Riccardo Comi, Sara Pasquetti +3

We propose novel infrared dualities connecting 2+1 dimensional non-Abelian gauge theories (with unitary or special unitary gauge groups) to Abelian gauge theories. The dual Abelian…

Star-triangle dualities and supersymmetric improved bifundamentals

Sergio Benvenuti, Riccardo Comi, Sara Pasquetti

Recently it was shown that mirror duals of 3d and 4d theories with four super-charges can be described by generalized quiver theories, constructed using strongly coupled SCFTs as e…

Probing bad theories with the dualization algorithm II

Simone Giacomelli, Chiung Hwang, Fabio Marino +2

We continue our analysis of bad theories, focusing on quiver theories with bad unitary and special unitary gauge groups in three dimensions. By extending the dualization algorithm…

Planar Abelian Mirror Duals of SQCD

Sergio Benvenuti, Riccardo Comi, Sara Pasquetti +3

We propose an Abelian mirror dual for the SQCD that we obtain as real mass deformation of known mirror pairs. We match the superconformal index…
