Abstract

The Hori-Tong and Hori dualities are infrared dualities between two-dimensional gauge theories with N=(2,2)\mathcal{N}{=}(2,2) supersymmetry, which are reminiscent of four-dimensional Seiberg dualities. We provide additional evidence for those dualities with U(Nc)U(N_c), USp(2Nc)USp(2N_c), SO(N)SO(N) and O(N)O(N) gauge groups, by matching correlation functions of Coulomb branch operators on a Riemann surface Σg\Sigma_g, in the presence of the topological AA-twist. The O(N)O(N) theories studied, denoted by O+(N)O_+ (N) and O(N)O_- (N), can be understood as Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 orbifolds of an SO(N)SO(N) theory. The correlators of these theories on Σg\Sigma_g with g>0g > 0 are obtained by computing correlators with Z2\mathbb{Z}_2-twisted boundary conditions and summing them up with weights determined by the orbifold projection.
