Abstract

We suggest three new N=1{\cal N}=1 conformal dual pairs. First, we argue that the N=2{\cal N}=2 E6E_6 Minahan-Nemeschansky (MN) theory with a USp(4)USp(4) subgroup of the E6E_6 global symmetry conformally gauged with an N=1{\cal N}=1 vector multiplet and certain additional chiral multiplet matter resides at some cusp of the conformal manifold of an SU(2)5SU(2)^5 quiver gauge theory. Second, we argue that the N=2{\cal N}=2 E7E_7 MN theory with an SU(2)SU(2) subgroup of the E7E_7 global symmetry conformally gauged with an N=1{\cal N}=1 vector multiplet and certain additional chiral multiplet matter resides at some cusp of the conformal manifold of a conformal N=1{\cal N}=1 USp(4)USp(4) gauge theory. Finally, we claim that the N=2{\cal N}=2 E8E_8 MN theory with a USp(4)USp(4) subgroup of the E8E_8 global symmetry conformally gauged with an N=1{\cal N}=1 vector multiplet and certain additional chiral multiplet matter resides at some cusp of the conformal manifold of an N=1{\cal N}=1 Spin(7)Spin(7) conformal gauge theory. We argue for the dualities using a variety of non-perturbative techniques including anomaly and index computations. The dualities can be viewed as N=1{\cal N}=1 analogues of N=2{\cal N}=2 Argyres-Seiberg/Argyres-Wittig duals of the EnE_n MN models. We also briefly comment on an N=1{\cal N}=1 version of the Schur limit of the superconformal index.
