Abstract

We show that not all (2+1)(2+1) dimensional toric phases are Seiberg-like duals. Particularly, we work out superconformal indices for the toric phases of Fanos C3{\cal{C}}_3, C5{\cal{C}}_5 and B2{\cal{B}}_2. We find that the indices for the two toric phases of Fano B2{\cal{B}}_2 do not match, which implies that they are not Seiberg-like duals. We also take the route of acting Seiberg-like duality transformation on toric quiver Chern-Simons theories to obtain dual quivers. We study two examples and show that Seiberg-like dual quivers are not always toric quivers.
