Abstract

We study dualities for 3d N=2\mathcal{N} = 2 SU(Nc)SU(N_c) SQCD at Chern-Simons level kk in presence of an adjoint with polynomial superpotential. The dualities are dubbed chiral because there is a different amount of fundamentals NfN_f and antifundamentals NaN_a. We build a complete classification of such dualities in terms of NfNa |N_f - N_a| and kk. The classification is obtained by studying the flow from the non-chiral case, and we corroborate our proposals by matching the three-sphere partition functions. Finally, we revisit the case of SU(Nc)SU(N_c) SQCD without the adjoint, comparing our results with previous literature.
