Abstract

We consider the IR phases of two-node quiver theories with N=1\mathcal{N}\,=\,1 supersymmetry in d=2+1d\,=\,2\,+\,1 dimensions. It turns out that the discussion splits into two main cases, depending on whether the Chern-Simons levels associated with two nodes have the same sign, or the opposite signs, with the latter case being more non-trivial. The determination of the phase diagrams allows us to conjecture certain infrared dualities involving either two quiver theories, or a quiver and adjoint QCD. We also provide a short discussion of quivers possessing time reversal symmetry.
