S-duality wall of SQCD from Toda braiding
Abstract
Exact field theory dualities can be implemented by duality domain walls such that passing any operator through the interface maps it to the dual operator. This paper describes the S-duality wall of four-dimensional SU(N) SQCD with 2N hypermultiplets in terms of fields on the defect, namely three-dimensional SQCD with gauge group U(N-1) and 2N flavours, with a monopole superpotential. The theory is self-dual under a duality found by Benini, Benvenuti and Pasquetti, in the same way that T[SU(N)] (the S-duality wall of super Yang-Mills) is self-mirror. The domain-wall theory can also be realized as a limit of a USp(2N-2) gauge theory; it reduces to known results for N=2. The theory is found through the AGT correspondence by determining the braiding kernel of two semi-degenerate vertex operators in Toda CFT.
