New self dualities and duality cascades
Anson Hook
New self-dualities involving two index tensors are derived. These new self-dualities are used to build various duality cascades. Both vector like and chiral cascades are presented.…
Emergent Fermi surfaces, fractionalization and duality in supersymmetric QED
Anson Hook, Shamit Kachru, Gonzalo Torroba +1
We study the physics of 3d supersymmetric abelian gauge theories (with small supersymmetry breaking perturbations) at finite density. Using mirror symmetry, which provides a natura…
S-duality of nonsupersymmetric gauge theories
Anson Hook, Gonzalo Torroba
We propose a method for constructing pairs of nonsupersymmetric gauge theories related by S-duality. Starting from a known S-duality of supersymmetric theories realized on the worl…
Supersymmetric Defect Models and Mirror Symmetry
Anson Hook, Shamit Kachru, Gonzalo Torroba
We study supersymmetric field theories in three space-time dimensions doped by various configurations of electric charges or magnetic fluxes. These are supersymmetric avatars of im…
A test for emergent dynamics
Anson Hook
A generalization of a-maximization is proposed that maximizes a subject to inequalities rather than equalities. The implication of this conjecture is that in the absence of emergen…
Phases of N=1 supersymmetric chiral gauge theories
Nathaniel Craig, Rouven Essig, Anson Hook +1
We analyze the phases of supersymmetric chiral gauge theories with an antisymmetric tensor and (anti)fundamental flavors, in the presence of a classically marginal superpotential d…
