We study four dimensional N=1 gauge theories that arise on the worldvolume of D3-branes probing complex cones over del Pezzo surfaces. Global symmetries of the gauge theories are made explicit by using a correspondence between bifundamental…
In this paper we investigate and propose new dualities involving 2d gauge theories with $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ supersymmetry. In the first part of the paper we focus on $\mathrm{SU}(n)$ gauge theories with two antisymmetric chirals. The gauge…
We study the patterns in the duality of a wide class of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions. We present many new generalizations of the classic duality models of Kutasov and Schwimmer, which have themselves been generalized…
By dimensional reduction of a self dual p-form theory on some compact space, we determine the duality generators of the gauge theory in 4 dimensions. In this picture duality is seen as a consequence of the geometry of the compact space. We…
We recently conjectured a set of dualities relating two-dimensional orthogonal gauge theories with $\mathcal{N}=(4,4)$ supersymmetry, analogous to Hori's dualities with $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ supersymmetry. Here we provide a quantitative test…
We find the warped AdS_4 x K type-IIB supergravity solutions holographically dual to a large family of three dimensional \cN=4 superconformal field theories labeled by a pair (\rho,\hat\rho) of partitions of N. These superconformal theories…
We propose a Seiberg duality for a 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ $Spin(7)$ gauge theory with $F$ spinor matters. For $F \ge 6$, the theory allows a magnetic dual description with an $SU(F-4)$ gauge group. The matter content on the magnetic side is…
We study S duality of four dimensional N=2 Argyres-Douglas (AD) theory engineered from 6d A_{N-1} (2,0) theory. We find a (p,q) sequence of SCFTs, here (p,q) is co-prime and class S theory defined on sphere corresponds to class (0,1)…
We study the dynamics of a large class of N=1 quiver theories, geometrically realized by type IIB D-brane probes wrapping cycles of local Calabi-Yau threefolds. These include N=2 (affine) A-D-E quiver theories deformed by superpotential…
We construct 3d, N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories by considering a one-parameter `R-flow' of 4d, N=2 theories, where the central charges vary while preserving their phase order. Each BPS state in 4d leads to a BPS particle in 3d, and thus…
This is a brief introductory review of the AdS/CFT correspondence and of the ideas that led to its formulation. Emphasis is placed on dualities between conformal large $N$ gauge theories in 4 dimensions and string backgrounds of the form…
D3 branes stretching between webs of (p,q) 5branes provide an interesting class of 3d N=2 theories. For generic pq-webs however the low energy field theory is not known. We use 3d mirror symmetry and Type IIB S-duality to construct Abelian…
We construct the general form of matter coupled N=4 gauged supergravity in five dimensions. Depending on the structure of the gauge group, these theories are found to involve vector and/or tensor multiplets. When self-dual tensor fields are…
We propose a four-dimensional supersymmetric theory that deconstructs, in a particular limit, the six-dimensional $(2,0)$ theory of type $D_k$. This 4d theory is defined by a necklace quiver with alternating gauge nodes $\mathrm{O}(2k)$ and…
We study $N=1$ SUSY gauge theories in four dimensions with gauge group $Spin(7)$ and $N_f$ flavors of quarks in the spinorial representation. We find that in the range $6< N_f < 15$, this theory has a long distance description in terms of…
We construct the BPS quivers with superpotential for the 4d N=2 gauge theories with non-simply laced Lie groups (B_n, C_n, F_4 and G_2). The construction is inspired by the BIKMSV geometric engineering of these gauge groups as non-split…
More general constructions are given of six-dimensional theories that look at low energy like six-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory. The constructions start with either parallel fivebranes in Type IIB, or M-theory on…
We study four dimensional quiver gauge models from F-theory compactified on fourfolds with hyper-K\"{a}hler structure. Using intersecting complex toric surfaces, we derive a class of N=1 quivers with charged fundamental matter placed on…
We show that Seiberg-like duality of $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge theory coupled with tensor chiral fields and fundamental chiral fields works if the meson spectrum built from the tensor fields takes particular form: a) It should be truncated; b)…
We study dualities for ${\cal N}=2$ 3d Chern-Simons matter theories with gauge groups U/Sp/O, matter in the two-index tensor representations (adjoint/symmetric/antisymmetric) in addition to the fundamental representation, and a…
