Abstract

We propose a "chiral" version of the Kutasov-Schwimmer duality in a 3d N=2\mathcal{N}=2 SU(N)SU(N) gauge theory with FF fundamental matters, Fˉ\bar{F} anti-fundamental matters and an adjoint matter XX with a tree-level superpotential W=trXk+1W= \mathrm{tr} \, X^{k+1}. The theory exhibits a rich structure of the baryonic and (dressed) Coulomb branch operators. At first sight, the duality seems bad due to the mismatch of the anti-baryonic branch in the moduli space of vacua. The duality well works by realizing that the anti-baryonic operators are identified with some of the dressed Coulomb branch coordinates under the proposed duality. This generalizes the SU(N)SU(N) ``chiral'' duality with (anti-)fundamental matters, which we previously proposed.
