Abelian dualities of $\mathcal{N}=(0,4)$ boundary conditions
Abstract
We propose dual pairs of half-BPS boundary conditions for 3d Abelian gauge theories related to mirror symmetry and S-duality by showing the matching of boundary 't Hooft anomalies and supersymmetric indices. We find simple mirror symmetry between 2d Abelian gauge theories and free Fermi multiplets that generalizes Abelian duality. We also propose a prescription for computing half-index of enriched Neumann boundary condition including 2d boundary bosonic matters by gauging the 2d boundary flavor symmetry of Dirichlet boundary condition. By coupling half-BPS boundary configurations of 3d gauge theories to quarter-BPS corner configurations of 4d Super Yang-Mills theories, we further obtain a new type of 4d-3d-2d duality that may involve 3d non-Abelian gauge symmetry.
