$\mathcal{N}=1$ conformal dualities from unoriented chiral quivers

Abstract

We study various orientifold projections of 4d N=1\mathcal{N}=1 toric gauge theories, associated with CY singularities known as La,b,a/Z2L^{a,b,a}/\mathbb{Z}_2, with a+ba+b even. We obtain superconformal chiral theories that have the same central charge, anomalies and superconformal index, whereas they were different before the orientifold. Some of these projections are implemented by a novel type of orientifold without fixed loci, known as glide orientifold. We claim that these theories flow to the same conformal manifold, and they are connected by quadratic exactly marginal deformations. The latter can be written in terms of conjugate pairs of bifundamental fields of RR-charge one, generalizing previous results for unoriented non-chiral theories.
